City of Madison Parks Division Coordination Hub
The City of Madison Parks Division coordinates public land stewardship, shoreline systems, recreation corridors, habitat restoration, and green infrastructure across the city.
Why the Parks Division matters
The Parks Division appears across multiple Madison ecosystem maps because public land systems connect watershed protection, shoreline access, recreation corridors, habitat restoration, neighborhood green space, and climate resilience strategies.
