Project Details
Carpenter Ridgeway Park
Project Information
Madison Parks in cooperation with City of Madison Planning Division is proposing a bike skills park and playground at Carpenter Ridgeway Park.
Madison was granted several Federal Community Block Grants for use in the Carpenter Ridgeway neighborhood. Through outreach and cooperation with Madison Parks, a bike skills track delivers on community feedback and desire for recreational bike amenities.
Bike skills track like the one proposed here can be comprised of one or two short loops that take riders 1-2 minutes to complete. The can incorporate features such as wooden ramps, rollers, pump track style trail, bridges, jumps, and wall rides. These features help riders of all abilities and skill levels develop confidence and balance on bikes and build ability and confidence.
Similar projects have been completed in municipalities like Green Bay and La Crosse and have been popular park and neighborhood amenities.
City of Madison plans to hold a public meeting to discuss the project and details, dates, and times will be posted on this page when known.
Construction would likely occur in 2026 or 2027.
