Madison, WI 53713 Directions
Acres: 11.00
This 11-acre park is located south of the beltline, between Fish Hatchery Road and Seminole Hwy. and features Madison's first pump track, a reservable picnic shelter, a multipurpose field, a full-court basketball, a playground, an all-levels bicycle adventure trail, and a hill perfect for sledding in the winter.
The Saris Foundation Bike Park
Inspired by the children of the neighborhood, big dreams can come true. In 2021-22 the park saw a transformation into the Saris Foundation Bike Park with the opening of the pump track and in 2023 the Cannonball Bicycle Adventure Trail, also known as the Cannonball Singletrack.

Cannonball Bicycle Adventure Trail
Running parallel to the existing Cannonball Path, the Cannonball Bicycle Adventure Trail offers a unique and fun biking experience for all skill levels. The narrow trail or "singletrack” is about the width of a bike and provides adventures for riders with “shred to school,” hills, jumps, decking and berms through woodsy natural, limestone and chip seal trails. The adventure trail is approximately one mile and runs north from Post Road to just south of the beltline (Hwy 151) and has several access points, including at Aldo Leopold Park. Trail conditions are periodically posted by users on CORPTrails.org.
Madison Bicycle Adventure Trail (MadBAT) network includes singletrack, natural surface trails, and bike-skill features such as hills, jumps, decking and more.
Playground
With 160+ playgrounds throughout Madison, you are never too far from a playground. Playground design and amenities vary by park.
Pump Track
This course is designed to use the terrain of hills and curves to maintain your speed and gain momentum as you bike the track with minimal or no pedaling. Ride the track by shifting your body to pump the bike over the bumps and through the berms.
