This small park located behind Asbury is perfect if you are looking for a place to throw a frisbee, play kickball or soccer or just a game of tag with your kids.
Located just off of Hughes and Madison Pike, this park is the “crown jewel” of Madison’s park system. With 60 acres and a recreation facility (indoor and outdoor pool, gymnasium, etc.) this park offers something for almost everyone. There are walking trails, lots of soccer and baseball fields, disc golf, etc.
Lots of play equipment for younger children and a few things for older kids. There is equipment here for children with disabilities…
