Goodman Park

Recreational Facilities

The park spans 29.11 acres along Wingra Creek and serves as home to the popular Goodman Pool, Madison's first municipal swimming pool.

A playground and small sun shelter provide spaces for families and picnickers. The park is also a frequent venue for softball leagues, with two lighted adult softball fields available.

Seasonal Activities

Goodman Park serves as a year-round recreational space. In winter, an ice skating rink is set up, though no skate rentals are available on-site.

Park Features and Connections

Named after benefactors Irwin and Robert Goodman, the park features a mix of recreational facilities and natural areas.

Goodman Park connects to the wider Madison parks system via the adjacent Wingra Creek Bike Path. Its location near Quann Park and a Parks maintenance facility makes it part of a larger green space complex in the area.

The park offers views of Wingra Creek and provides public shoreline access. The park provides drinking water for visitors but does not have permanent restroom facilities.
