Insider Tips:
Looking for great views by the water?
Wyldhaven Park is a local favorite for sunset views of the capitol, from a lovely platform deck with seating, over Lake Monona.
San Damiano is Monona’s newest park, with a long history, and beautifully preserved shoreline right in the city. Enjoy seasonal biergartens with live music and food trucks, take your pup for a stroll through the grounds of the former monastery, or grab a seat and enjoy the waterfront views.
Looking for a few more amenities? Grand Crossing Park offers adirondack chairs along the water, to watch the boaters pass by and dock for a lakeside meal at Breakwater or Buck & Honey’s. This courtyard park features a grassy place to play and picnic in the summer, and turns into the Lake Ridge Bank River Rink with skate rentals and fire pits in the winter.
