Very nice city park. We really like the hiking trails. Its really not something you think you could find in the city limits. We had our toddler as well. He had fun on the playground, which isnt super modern but is in good condition.

A nice little park in the middle of Madison. Zoe (my dog) and I really enjoyed walking the different paths!

For a city park...wow. lots of cool stuff to see. Hike and enjoy what was. This is a gem in the heart of the city. Quarry trail was our favorite.

Beautiful park! Watch out for broken glass at stairway and near picnic areas. Very Natural, wear good shoes.

The spot for veteran madisonians as well as new blood

Many beautiful little trails that snake throughout the park. Its very easy to forgot that youre still in the city. Great place for a picnic.

One of my favs since childhood. Great scenic overlook and trails. Many spots to have a safe fire!

Chopped tire flooring and an interesting assortment of play equipment for older kids. Not much for babies.

Nice quiet park with super kid/toddler friendly trails.

Good hiking and classic fireplaces in the woods.

A really nice park with restrooms. Also brings back memories of my youth.

A nice little park tucked in some trees. Trails, basketball court, and a shelter

Nice. Test rooms not open. Although posting on restroom says how to behave.

Great little walking trails for small children

Small but fun little adventure hike for the kids

Ok place for a short jog, wooded and shady, looks like a nice gathering place.

My kids love climbing all over the place.

Awesome for hot days, find the stairs down below the bluff

Remember this place while in high school. Ate lunch with my grandsons.

This park, within walking distance of my childhood home, is one of Madisons many fine parks. It is a personal favorite with several lovely hikes. We ran into Tim from Friends of Hoyt Park during our visit and were lucky to receive an impromptu personal tour!

The park, trails and nature are beautiful. Unfortunately people smashed glass on the hiking trails.

Great hidden gem in the middle of Madison. Come for a walk, a beautiful view on sunset overlook, or grill out with friends in the many firepits.

Madison born & raised and lived here for 3/4 of my 60 years - First time ever visiting (that I remember) ... ill be back.

Great access to quarry park, reservoir park, etc. Shortcut through the sunset/quarry neighborhood

A forest inside the city! You can go to walk or run, there are also grills for your barbecue if you wish to do it, just be warned that this beautiful place will have many hungry mosquitoes during summer.

No elms, just oaks, but its really pretty!I found some dryads saddle which is cool. Was hoping for morels but there werent any elms so :/Still a lovely park, Ill probably back in the summer/fall for some other mushrooming

My daughters wedding was beautiful there.

Pretty large park, has a little playground, baseball field, bathrooms, pavilion, wooded area thats pretty cool

Great park with a play structure and trails that reveal some really cool nature and an old Corry.

Love going to this park. Something for everyone: open fields, playground, trails, fire pits, and covered eating areas.

Hoyt park is amazing!! This is my go to spot for going for walks with my dog and great place to take my kids. It has: great views looking over Madison, great stone work paths, exposured rock cliffs, a big field, a basketball court, great playground, and two pretty big shelters. Its a great place to feel outside of Madison inside of the city. Only downside is the occasional broken glass (usually near lookout) from inconsiderate people.

Beautiful park with a few trails throughout. Great for stargazing and looking at Madison from a high point.

Awesome private trails and sitting areas that are kinda hidden

My favorite park in madison! Always a beautiful place to hike, usually very low key.

Beautiful open park. Attended a party here and it was a great location with plenty of parking.

Lovely park!

It was amazing how we felt like we were out in the country instead of in the middle of Madison! The stone fireplaces are fun to see and the gorge was a nice surprise

Nice trails and large park. Looks like it could use some TLC though....

Great place to host picnics, go for a run, pick black raspberries or look for birds. Has a playground, basketball hoops, and big field. Theres a good variety of places to walk - in the woods, along the old quarry walls, in the prairie area. Very pretty!

This park is a hidden gem in the Madison area. It has an open, semi flat field so it is great for most kinds of yard games. There are also fire rings available to use and a small pavilion along with a small playground for kids.

Really great park thats well cared for.

Trails need to be kept up better

I love this park. Great hike through nature with beautiful bluffs, stones and mature trees.

A good place to hike and enjoy the outdoors. Some of their equipment and benches could use a little work but it was a nice park overall.

Beautiful park and overlook. Wildlife, hearths for fires, and restored prairie and woodland habitats.

We took our engagement photos on the trails here. Beautiful!

I love this place! It has trails great for dog walking and even fire places so you can light up and start cooking hot dogs with friends... all in the middle of madison!

I live right across from here and love having it there. Super peaceful and a nice small wooded getaway in the middle of Madison. Gorgeous in the fall. Only downside is the kids who sneak there to play hookie from school.

Best park for exploring the outdoors! Great shelter, beautiful view from the overlook. Miss the City toboggan slide, used to be so much fun, although scary!

An often overlooked park. A great place for a family picnic, a wonderful play-park for the kids, nice trails and some fine geocaches for those who might be interested. Was a perfect location for our churchs summer picnic and the start/finish line for church schools 5K fun run.

Beautiful local park. Wonderful place to go with a group but also secluded enough to find peace alone.

Never ending trails and caves, Hoyt Park is a great place for the family

Nice walking trails.

Great place to have some picnics and enjoy the sunset with friends and family!

Nice place for picnic and hike. Even flush toilets!

My grandson and I really like this park!

Smaller then I expected but very nice trails

Beautiful little park great for small get Togethers

Lots of places to have campfires at night!!!

Great park but... full of mosquitoes.

Enjoyed a half-mile hike.

Chicken spot
