Little public area with a big view of the lake. Its a pleasant alternative to the busier parks if youre looking to watch the sunset. Bring a picnic, enjoy the breeze, and watch the ducks putter around in the shallows.

Public access to Lake Monona in a residential neighborhood. Beautiful views, and good birdwatching during the migratory seasons.

Small, quiet neighborhood park. Benches on the lakefront. Great view of the lake.

Beautiful place to walk see the lake and wildlife

Perfect place for a park. Great views of the lake and city. It is on the Lake Loop cycle path. So you do have to watch out for very focused individuals in lycra hurtling past.

Small intimate neighborhood park. Always quiet. Wonderful lake view.

Quite serene and peaceful to have a walk and seat yourself for a while watching the river

Tiny park, couple tables, great view. Great place to put your kayak in and out. No hassle from larger watercraft as there is no boat ramp.

Unexpected find! Was visiting friends in a new home. Beautiful views, location at any time of year.

Not really a park, but there are some steps for throwing rocks in to the lake and a grassy area, there is also a hidden spot.

Was a nice park. Loved the 4th of July festival!

A great neighborhood for walking a great park with a bench near the Yahara River for meditation

Excellent facility. A crown jewel.

Lots of weeds and trees in the water .nice view

The park itself is excellent and worthy of more than 2-stars. Its a very pretty area and has some neat effigy mounds, which I highly recommend seeing.The 2-star rating comes from the atmosphere of the park that has been created by the residents of the area. Although it is a public park, they are very vocal about it being their park. Their opinions of people from outside the neighborhood came to light in response to the influx of visitors playing Pokemon GO. There have been many instances of visitors being harassed, threatened, having racial slurs shouted at them, or having the police called on them simply for using the park within normal park hours.I would recommend checking out one of the other great parks in Madison, and leaving Hudson Park to the hateful people who have claimed it.

Nice little spot if youre in the neighborhood. The effigy mounds are a great little piece of local history and the lakefront walk is nice in warmer months. The little beach area isnt so great, though. Often smelly and with accumulated seaweed and bits of litter washed up.

Unique. Burial grounds

Gorgeous shelter for events!

Nice park. Good people that hangout there, especially for pokemon. However, chamber of Commerce was there this past week along with the scum of people who live in the area to remove this as a public park. One woman claimed she was worried about the trees dying due to the influx of people. Horrible residents in the area, but a nice park to hangout (even more so since it pisses the hell out of the nearby residents)

This place gets me right in the feels

Local native american effigy mounds, and Great place for Pokémon stops. The park has recently come alive with visitors everyday.

The park is lovely, but the neighbors are incredibly abrasive and unwelcoming. White privilege abounds.

A wonderfully meditative spot.

Quiet urban niche with a lovely view

Lake access!

Peaceful and reflective

Nice park
