Four Corners Park

A Cozy Neighborhood Haven

Tucked away at the intersection of Edgehill and Blackhawk Drives, Four Corners Park is that perfect little urban retreat you might miss if you weren't looking for it. Modest in size at just about an acre, this park functions as a small neighborhood gathering spot where local families - especially those with little ones - come to connect and unwind.

Sitting snugly in a residential area, the park offers just enough open space for kids to burn off energy while still staying within a parent's watchful gaze.

Play Paradise for the Little Ones

The playground here is clearly designed with younger children in mind. You'll find all the classics - swings that send giggles skyward, slides for those little adrenaline rushes, and climbing structures that turn ordinary afternoons into adventures. Kids seem especially drawn to the jungle gym and the old-school rounder (that's a merry-go-round for those of us who grew up with different playground lingo). There's also a sandbox where budding architects can build their masterpieces.

Take a Break

When snack time calls or legs need resting, the shelter with picnic tables offers a welcome patch of shade. It's nothing fancy, but it's fantastic for spreading out lunch or hosting a low-key birthday celebration. The surrounding grassy areas invite impromptu games of tag or simply stretching out with a good book.

The Practical Stuff

One feature that parents will appreciate: public restrooms. Anyone who's ever had to cut a park visit short due to a bathroom emergency knows this is no small perk. You'll also find plenty of benches scattered throughout, making it easy to supervise playtime while giving little ones their independence.

Behind the Scenes

Like other neighborhood green spaces in the area, Four Corners Park is maintained by the City of Madison Parks Division. Though it doesn't have the size or elaborate amenities of Madison's larger parks, it's a convenient green space for nearby residents to enjoy without having to travel far from home.
