Park Highlights
Accessible Playground

The Jeffrey Erlanger Accessible Playground at Rennebohm Park opened in August 2023. In addition to a fully ramp-connected main play structure with multiple floor-mounted panels (ASL, musical notes, Braille) and lots of opportunity for climbing, balancing and sliding, the new playground at Rennebohm also has a zero-entry inclusive spinner - the "We-Go-Round" manufactured by Landscape Structures, that has both seats and space for those in wheelchairs and other mobility devices to enter/exit and participate without dismounting – it can hold up to 12 kids at a time and users can spin from within using the center handhold or from the outside making for a collaborative side-by-side play experience. The playground has a 3-bay swing with two adaptive seats in addition to tot and belt seats and the neighborhood-favorite rope climber, informally called "the rocket," is re-installed in the poured-in-place rubber surfacing.

Ice Skating
Ice Skate News
Goodman Park ice rink -- also known as Franklin Field is getting a NiceRink® for the 2023-24 winter season. In the fall of 2023, staff graded and leveled the ground to prep for the NiceRink, which is an above-ground, framed liner that allows water to freeze quicker and stay frozen longer - meaning a longer skating season!
Ice Skating in Madison Parks
19 ice rinks or lagoons are maintained by Parks staff and/or volunteers during the cold winter season. All are free to use and no reservation is needed. See Special Winter Fun Edition: Ice Skating for more information.
A big thank you to our many volunteers and the ADOPT ICE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM!

Playground
With more than 175 playgrounds throughout Madison, you are never too far from a playground. According to the Trust for Public Land, Madison ranks #1 in the nation for the number of playgrounds available. The traditional swings and slides are always an option, as are new play elements and fully accessible playgrounds.
PLAYGROUNDS FOR EVERYONE
Through the Madison Parks Foundation initiative, Madison Parks offers accessible playgrounds in Brittingham, Elver, Rennebohm and Warner parks. In 2024, an accessible playground is anticipated in Reindahl Park.
PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENTS: HOW AND WHEN
View all Playgrounds
Madison Parks is responsible for maintaining more than 175 playgrounds and began a system-wide replacement initiative in 2013. With current staff and funding resources, replacements are scheduled to continue through 2033. Playgrounds are routinely inspected to assess the equipment's conditions and repair any safety concerns. Based on the age of the equipment and current conditions, each is given an audit score. The number of playgrounds replaced each year is based on budget allocations, staffing resources, and using the current playground audit score for prioritization.
REPLACEMENT PROCESS: NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT
At the start of the replacement process, notices are sent to the District Alder, neighborhood association representatives, and surrounding residential addresses. Information is also posted to the project website. Generally, two public meetings are held to review surfacing and equipment options and make final selections.
If you have questions about a specific playground or see something broken, please let us know.-
