Love this place. Nice quite park and if your order food there is a place for it to get dropped off. So cool. Love that you can rent pattle boats and canoes even Matts and just go on the water. Great place to go and relax.

Being a 10 minute walk from U-Haul, this was the perfect place to take a rest while the gentlemen fixed my car. I walked here looking for a place to rest, and passed a lovely canoe spot. I also passed a young man kicking a fence in anger and that scared me so im dropping a star. But otherwise its beautiful! Lots of bugs under the trees tho. I had to sit on a bench to read in peace. The pics are the doc I sat at while reading.

Great views of the lake and good playsets for kids to play on. They have volley ball nets and sand even. Nice big open parking lot. It has a nice big place that has a lot of over hang to keep you dry or out of the sun depending on the weather that day, with many benches and seating. Good place to get together with a bunch of people and have a good time grilling out and whatnot. Everything is wheelchair accessible. Even has public bathrooms, which are usually decently clean. Well clean enough to hover and bomb. If you catch my meaning... lol

I always used to come here when my kids were young; now the play ground equipment is FunTasTic. Today with my 89 year old mom we ate N looked at the water. Still a favorite.

Beautifully located on Monona Bay. More streetlight at least on the paths would increase safety which recently has been a concer

Largest Park in Madison, wraps all the way around the Monona Bay, flanked between Park Street, West Washington Avenue and basically John Nolen Drive. The park offers an Accessible playground, shelter with bathrooms, sand volleyball courts, and Community Gardens off West Washington Avenue. Brittingham Boats rents kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and other watercraft to enjoy time on the water, from Proudfit Street. There is a bike path running through the park and ample space to lounge in the sun or shade, play football, ultimate frisbee, or any other activity that needs some open green space.

Great park for all ages. Multiple playgrounds for little ones. Nice shelter house for gatherings. Community garden and bike trail. Fishing must be good because there are people fishing whether its rain, snow, shine, summer, or winter. Close to everything. Large parking lot. Multiple parking lots and recreation areas including a basketball court. Canoe, kayak, and paddle board rentals available in season. Highly recommended.

I loved this place! Huge lawns to play on, a kids playing area, a path for biking, barbecues, and easily accessible fishing areas. You name it, and you have it. Beautiful view of lake monona. Easily accessible by bus (around 3 minutes walk from the closest stop)

Brittingham Park is the best place to play on a playground because there are two playgrounds there not just one. Fields and a pavilion are there so everyone is able to come and play around and even have a picnic.

Havent rented from Brittingham Boats yet, but I walk around in Brittingham Park all the time. It has several nice paths that go along the lake and large grassy spaces to hang out, play frisbee, sunbathe, etc. The pavilion is a good spot to eat and if you have little kids there are 2 playgrounds!

I usually dont go across the street to the park. My location reads me close by , I am actually across street waiting for a bus. So much for accurate locating. But the park is nice, I guess, its had some problems, but its good fishing at this park, from what people say.

Wonderful park with great view of the lake. NEW playground with great climbing gear, nice wide ramps to fun bridges and play features, monkey bars, swings and slides. Plus a little sound blocking sphere, and a plastic, modern, safer merry go round! Perhaps best of all, the ground cover is a cushioned textured mat surface, not rocks or wood chips or other tiny things.Benches for parents and indoor bathrooms. One word of caution: the bathroom floors are very slippery when wet (always) especially in flip flops!Nice shelter for barbeques or picnics, huge open field for frisbee, soccer, etc. Boat rental at one end, fishing allowed, really great park!!
