About the Location

Location and Overview

Nestled at the crossroads of Lakewood Boulevard, North Sherman Avenue, Bayside Drive, and Old Shore Road in Madison, Wisconsin, you'll find Johnson Park - a cozy 5.7-acre community space that offers something for everyone, whether you're looking to play, relax, or simply enjoy some fresh air.

Sports and Recreation

If you're in the mood for some physical activity, the park's multi-purpose field has got you covered. Complete with soccer goals, it's ideal for everything from impromptu kickarounds to more organized matches with friends. Baseball fans haven't been forgotten either - there's a backstop available if you want to practice your pitching or batting skills.

Kids will feel right at home with the park's playground equipment, giving them their own space to climb, slide, and let their imaginations run wild.

Memorial and Gathering Spaces

There's more to Johnson Park than just recreation. Take a moment to visit the Veterans Memorial, a thoughtful addition that provides a quiet spot for reflection and honoring those who served.

The park's charming gazebo offers a picture-perfect setting for catching up with a friend, enjoying a good book, or even hosting a small celebration - just imagine the possibilities for photos!

Green Space

Sometimes all you need is a patch of grass and some sunshine. Johnson Park delivers with plenty of open green space where you can spread out a blanket for a picnic, toss a frisbee, or simply lie back and watch the clouds drift by.

Parking Information

A heads-up about parking: options are somewhat limited at Johnson Park. You can find spots along Lakewood Boulevard, but during popular times, these fill up quickly. It might be worth considering alternative transportation if you're planning to visit during peak hours.
