Catering
WPCRC is a City of Madison public park and publicly funded. Approved caterers have paid a security deposit and carry liability insurance through the City of Madison. Caterers must hold a valid parks facility catering permit issued under Madison General Ordinances Sec. 8.175 in order to cater events at WPCRC.
