Cute Park with an Island


Travalon always finds the coolest places. His coworker told him about a park in the town of Dunn, and he took me to see it because it has an island. There is a pond in the middle of the park, and in the middle of it is a small island that is also a hill. I’m not sure if it’s artificial, but there are other funny hills like that in the immediate area, so most likely the hill is natural and the pond is artificial. There is a path around the low part of the island, so we went around that until running into a family of geese who didn’t seem too friendly, so we scrambled up the hill and then went down the stairs at the other end of the island. There is a bench up on the top of the hill so you can sit and admire the views. Then we walked along the path that went around the whole park, and it was almost two miles. By then it was getting darker, so we headed home, stopping at Lake View Hill Park to see if there was an impressive view of the city lights from there. You can see the Capitol Building from up there, and they have a beautiful fountain that was lit up with blue lights. I will post a photo of the fountain at some point. Unfortunately, I did not think to take a picture of the goose family with their eight cute babies, and it was probably for the best that we did not get close enough to take an ideal picture. They were already getting a bit upset with us.

Its'actually called Burke Town Park. Just south of Sun Prairie off Nelson Road, a bit east of hwy. 151. I discovered it on a lunch break at work.I consider that fountain at Lake View Hill Park to be the Trevi Fountain of Madison. It was a nice evening just exploring new places close to home.
