O.B. Sherry Park

A Creekside Escape

Found in Madison, this 7.97-acre neighborhood location sits alongside Starkweather Creek, offering a little piece of nature in the city. There's something deeply calming about being near water, and the creek provides just that - a scenic backdrop that transforms an ordinary park visit into something a bit more special.

Room to Play

Need space to move? The open and multipurpose fields here are meant for whatever game you're in the mood for. These reservable fields work great for organized sports like soccer, ultimate frisbee, lacrosse, or football.

No reservation? No problem. The fields are yours to enjoy on a first-come, first-served basis. The expansive open space makes it ideal for tossing a ball around or letting your four-legged friend burn off some energy with a game of fetch.

Family-Friendly Features

If you've got kids in tow, you'll appreciate the shaded playground area that works for little ones of all ages. When summer temperatures climb, this playground becomes an oasis thanks to its abundant shade. It's an excellent spot for children to climb, slide, and make new friends while staying cool.

Feeling thirsty after all that play? There are drinking water facilities available throughout the park.

Getting to O.B. Sherry Park couldn't be simpler thanks to the bike trail that connects to Garver. Whether you're cycling or walking, this trail makes the park easily accessible without having to navigate busy streets. It's a pleasant route that adds to the overall experience of visiting the park.
