Neat little neighborhood park. Lots of tall vegetation clusters, which are great for butterflies. Also, lots of trees, which are great for squirrels. I saw lots of butterflies and squirrels while I was here. No real amenities at this park and parking is extremely limited. No bathrooms, shelter areas, or paved walkways. The backside of the park is more level and would allow wheelchair access. You may have to park in the surrounding neighborhood area, as the streets around this little park are pretty tight.

Breakfast at mckies dairy bar and a walk to this park to work it off is a perfect morning. Mature oak trees with little sections of prairie grass cover this park. It is surrounded by beautiful homes. It contains an 80 foot native American effigy mound, so glad this little slice of Wisconsin was saved within city limits!

Coool

Theres not much to this little hill in the middle of the Vilas neighborhood! Its great for picnicking and watching the moon through the trees on a first date.. and then worth coming back to later for a marriage proposal... ah, yes. Proposal-worthy, this little mound is! :)(But actually, its more of a little grassy hill than it is a park..)

I grew up in this neighborhood. Went to Longfellow Elementary. We played capture the flag and kissed girls on the mound. I think I smoked my first joint there. Many wonderful memories. Check it out. I highly recommend it. Definitely an interesting place to check out here in Madison.

Full disclosure...I grew up here. Quiet, shady round park with an effigy mound on the west side.. Visited recently on holiday, saw they are leaving tracts of unmowed grass. Could they be bringing back prairie here? Note, unlike other similar effigy mounds in the Madison area, this one is mowed.

A city park that is an ancient native mound in the shape of a bear! How cool is that?

Nice little quiet mound of a park in the middle of the neighborhood, filled with massive, old oak trees

Its a nice park for the neighborhood, but its not something worth visiting as a tourist.

Ancient monuments on a hillside by the Zoo with beautiful oak trees.

I raised a duck army

Fun, clean park.

Its a little grassy area with trees.
