Madison’s New Wild Park | Madison News

Madison is set to transform 200 acres of reclaimed quarry land into a sprawling, nature-focused park — bigger than your average neighborhood spot, designed like a county or state park with minimal development. Located in Burke and Sun Prairie, the city council officially approved the purchase this summer, complete with an easement to ensure public access around a railroad and another quarry. This bold move fits Madison’s long-term vision to expand open space as it grows northeastward — including Burke, which will officially merge with Madison by 2036. While downtown acquisitions are tougher, officials are confident they’ll have the funds ready when the next opportunity arises.
