Sherman Village Park

Amenities and Recreation

Tucked away in the Sherman Village neighborhood, this cozy 3.80-acre community park might be small in size, but it packs a surprising punch. The highlight for the little ones is definitely the "purple playground" as the locals affectionately call it. While the equipment is primarily designed with 8-12 year olds in mind, we've noticed younger kids having just as much fun scrambling around.

If basketball is your thing, there's an asphalt court waiting for your next pickup game - just remember to wrap things up before dark as there's no lighting. Need more space? The multipurpose field is excellent for kicking a soccer ball around, tossing a frisbee, or just about any game you can think up.

Community Space

The playground is often filled with the sounds of children playing and laughing, making it feel like a neighborhood gathering spot. It offers a peaceful atmosphere with plenty of open space to enjoy, though you should note that seating is somewhat limited throughout the grounds - so you might want to bring a blanket for picnicking.

Part of Madison's Green Spaces

While Sherman Village Park might not be the largest in Madison's impressive collection of green spaces, it plays an important role in the city's park system. Madison takes its outdoor spaces seriously, ranking among the top cities nationwide for playgrounds and basketball hoops per resident - a commitment to community recreation that shines through even in modest neighborhood parks like this one.
