Flad Park

What's Here For Fun

Situated in Madison, Flad Park covers a modest 2.76 acres but packs in plenty for the neighborhood to enjoy. The playground area is definitely a highlight with its newer equipment - kids love scrambling across the climbing bridge and zooming down both the big and small slides. Got little ones? There are four swings to choose from: two baby swings for the tiniest park-goers, an ADA-accessible swing ensuring everyone gets to join the fun, and two classic sling-style swings for the bigger kids.

If basketball is more your thing, you'll discover a half-court with an asphalt surface. It's not lit up for nighttime games, but it's ideal for shooting some casual hoops or working on your layups during daylight hours.

Room to Roam

The multipurpose field is where Flad Park offers a versatile community space. This open grassy area is good for whatever activity you're in the mood for - kick around a soccer ball, toss a frisbee, or simply spread out a blanket for some cloud-watching. While there aren't any marked sports fields, the flexibility of this space means it can transform to suit whatever game you've got in mind.

What to Expect

When you need a break, there's a picnic table and bench right by the playground where you can recharge while keeping an eye on the kids. The playground surface is covered with shredded rubber - a thoughtful safety feature for those inevitable tumbles.

Just a heads up - you won't find any restrooms here, so plan accordingly for your visit.
