Fireplaces

Madison Parks has several parks with working fireplaces. You are welcome to use the fireplaces with your park shelter reservation. Just remember to bring your own wood and extinguish the fire completely before leaving the park.

Hoyt Park also has several refurbished outdoor fireplaces where you can enjoy toasted marshmallows and a quiet evening around a fire.

Please note, fires are not permitted in Vilas Park during the winter months.
