Hillington Green Park

Recreation Spaces

The half-court with its asphalt surface is good for shooting some hoops or playing a casual pick-up game with neighbors. When winter rolls around, the park transforms with an ice rink where you can glide and twirl (or just try not to fall) whenever the Wisconsin weather cooperates.

If you've got little ones in tow, the playground area makes Hillington Green a natural spot for family outings. It's nice to watch the kids play while you chat with other local parents.

Park Basics

At just 0.68 acres, this cozy mini park packs a lot into a small footprint. The string lights add a nice atmosphere as evening falls. Just a heads up - you won't find restrooms or drinking water here, so plan accordingly before your visit.

What's Available

The picnic area works well for impromptu lunches or planned get-togethers. The open grassy spaces also offer plenty of room to spread out a blanket, read a book, or simply enjoy some fresh air.

Dog owners rejoice - your furry friends are welcome here, making it a convenient spot for both of you to get some exercise and social time.

Neighborhood Spirit

One of the coolest things about Hillington Green is how the community comes together to care for it. The Adopt Ice Partnership program relies on local volunteers who help maintain the winter ice rink. This neighborhood dedication is what keeps the skating surface usable throughout the season - a wonderful example of Madison's community spirit in action.
