Hiawatha Circle Park

A Green Island in the City

Located in Madison, Wisconsin's Nakoma neighborhood, Hiawatha Circle Park is one of those cozy parks that locals cherish. True to its name, this small park forms an ideal circle, with Hiawatha Circle road completely surrounding the grassy area like a peaceful green island amid suburban life.

Small but Mighty

At just 1.31 acres, this park isn't trying to compete with Madison's larger green spaces - and that's part of its charm. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in simplicity and tranquility. The open, grassy layout creates a versatile space where you can spread out a blanket for a lazy afternoon picnic, toss a frisbee with friends, or simply find a quiet spot to read a book.

While you won't find playground equipment or sports facilities here, the uncluttered design is refreshing. It's the kind of place where neighborhood kids can run freely, dogs can stretch their legs (on leash, of course), and residents can connect with nature without having to venture far from home.
