San Damiano Park
Take a scenic detour to Monona’s newest lakefront gem—San Damiano. Steeped in history and natural beauty, this peaceful spot offers great views, a water station to refuel, and a perfect perch to cheer on the riders.
Schluter Park
Cool off with a refreshing slice of watermelon, generously provided by the Monona Police Department. Rent a kayak from the InstaPaddle self-serve kiosk.
Winnequah Park
Visit the Aldo Leopold Nature Center’s education station to get an up-close look at the tiny aquatic creatures living in our local lakes.
Grand Crossing Park
Enjoy festive music, lawn games, and kid-friendly fun! Grab a snack from the concession stand, take part in the activities, or relax in the Adirondack chairs by the water. A free public parking lot is available next the The Current 2, across from Grand Crossing Park. If you’re coming by bike from the Lake Loop, the park is 500 feet off the trail – keep an eye out for the circus-themed stilt walker guiding the way to the park entrance.
