More than 40 acres of parkland can be found in this Madison community

Stepping across the street from the middle school will bring you to Spring Harbor Park, where you can use its playground, basketball court, canoe and kayak. Additionally, you can take a leisurely stroll around Kettle Pond’s 8 acre conservation park found on Norman Way. Parks and green spaces weave their way through the neighborhood, offering residents and visitors a delightful respite from urban life. Residents love to hike along the meandering trails of Merrill Springs Park, where in spring, wildflowers paint the ground with vibrant hues, while autumn ignites the trees in a fiery blaze. Kettle Pond is a wildlife haven, where birdwatchers flock to spot elusive warblers flitting among the cattails.
