About Skyview Park
Neighborhood Nature Nook
Tucked between residential properties along Skyline Drive in Madison, Wisconsin, Skyview Park offers a peaceful escape. This 5-acre mini park might be small in size, but what it lacks in square footage, it makes up for in charm. Open daily from 4:00 AM to 10:00 PM, it's an ideal spot for early birds and night owls alike to get their nature fix.
Kid-Friendly Fun
If you've got little ones in tow, the park's playground offers the classics - swings and slides that will keep the kiddos entertained. Nothing fancy here, just good old-fashioned outdoor play equipment that does the job. Beyond the playground, walking trails invite you to stretch your legs and explore what this pocket-sized park has to offer.

It’s your turn to indulge in a once-in a-lifetime photoshoot creating images you will cherish forever.
A Place to Look Up
The park lives up to its name with its notable feature - expansive, unobstructed views of the sky. Take the trail behind the playground and you'll discover a beautiful clearing that's well-suited for cloud-watching, stargazing, or simply sitting back and breathing in some fresh air. It's a surprisingly peaceful spot that feels removed from city life.
Nature's Artwork
Wander a bit further along the trails and you'll encounter some interesting natural elements that give this park its character. Near the railroad tracks, you'll find large fallen trees that have been left in place, creating a slightly wild, untamed atmosphere that contrasts nicely with the more manicured areas of the park.
For the Neighbors
As a mini park, Skyview primarily serves the surrounding neighborhood, offering locals a convenient piece of nature practically in their backyards. It's also dog-friendly, so your four-legged family members are welcome to join in the outdoor fun. Just be aware that the entrance is nestled between two houses, making it easy to miss if you're not familiar with the area - but that's part of what makes discovering it feel special.
