Park Details

In June 2019, the Board of Park Commissioners approved the renaming of Pennsylvania Park to Emerson East Park. 

On Tuesday, February 27, 2018, the City of Madison Common Council approved the Madison Arts Commission's recommendation of Wisconsin artist Ray Chi for a site-specific public art opportunity in Pennsylvania Park, located at 1915 E. Johnson Street.

The People's Pronouns, created by artist Ray Chi, are three sculptures spanning the long, narrow parkway at the corner of East Johnson and First streets.  Chi's artwork responded to a neighborhood goal that "you are welcome here," quite literally by spelling out the words "WE," "US" and "OUR," in perforated, powder-coated steel and hardwood. The project serves as a gateway to the Emerson East neighborhood.
