Our next-door park. Brand new walking/biking paths, with a playground and wide fields. We see a wonderful cross-section of Madisonians whenever we go through: people fishing, biking, playing tennis, hanging out with kids, playing soccer, and even (once) snorkelers in the lake by the pier.
Easy lake access. Watch the ducks and boats in the shade. All weather park with ice skating in the winter.
A friend took us rock balancing here-there are often wonderful sculptures about that seem to defy the laws of physics. Also, there are many lovely trees to climb and interesting rocks and a lovely view of the lake. I like.
Madison hosts several great parks and this is no exception. Great views. Walk out on the rocks and in summertime, catch boats transferring lakes in the locks. You might also catch people fishing by the locks. Look closely in the churning water and you will see some enormous fish.
Lived a block away for several years. Great for walks, ice skating on the pond in winter.
Was a fun time just hanging out at the locks waiting for boats to be locked between the two lakes. We walked out on the "pier" and watched boats out on the lake. Like all the parks in Madison, WI; it is a family park with so much to offer.
If you are visiting Madison in the summer this park is pretty and the locks are something to see. If you are visiting in the winter it is a great place to ice skate and there are hockey boards up in part of it. Beautiful park new shelter!
What a cute park. It seems like a small park but once you are on the trails it is a nice walk. Cute bridges. We brought bread to feed the ducks on the river. You can cross the street and walk to the lake if you want or ride on the trail that goes over there. Quite a few people fishing throughout the park. There are playgrounds too. There is a neat brown metal bridge to walk across. Lots of photo ops. Definitely take a walk in this park if you get a chance.
We used to live not too far from Tenney Park and loved to be outdoors there especially when boats are out or the ponds are frozen.
Love Tenney.Great beach to go swimming.Or watch the boats go through the locks.Great playground area.In the winter if the ice is frozen the ice skating is fun.
