Athletic Field & Court Reservations

The City of Madison Parks Division offers a variety of quality athletic fields, such as softball, baseball, soccer, football, volleyball and tennis courts. The facilities range in amenities, locations and pricing.

Many, but not all, of the Madison Parks Division facilities are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Process for Facility & Field Reservations

Pricing

General Reservation Fees are listed with each field/court type. Contact the Athletic Scheduling Specialist (608) 266-4713 with any questions regarding pricing.

NOTE: Reservations are made for the duration of time user groups will be at the fields, so be sure to specify when the fields are needed. This allows Madison Parks to schedule fields for other users.
