Park Details
This nearly 10-acre park, formerly known as Central Park, was officially renamed in April 2018 at a dedication ceremony honoring longtime East High School principal, Milton McPike.
The park features a restroom building (open seasonally) and Madison's first skatepark, which opened in September 2015. The park is host to numerous festivals and events including a weekly farmers' market spring through fall. For more information on reserving this park, visit Special Events.
Central Park Master Plan was completed and approved in 2011.

Open Field
Madison Parks are a unique blend of active recreation and passive recreation spaces. Open Fields are just that - open, not pre-designed as a softball diamond, or football field. These open fields are available in these parks to spark your imagination, play a game of tag, or follow the leader - or anything you can think of! Enjoy your parks!
