Dane County Parks and Open Space Plan Public Information Meeting
The Dane County Parks and Open Space Plan is a countywide comprehensive outdoor
recreation and natural resource plan that must be updated every five years to maintain
eligibility for State Stewardship grant funds. Updates to the plan include identifying
recreational needs and significant natural, cultural, and historical resources in the
county to be considered for protection. The planning process will seek input from Dane
County residents that will help guide future park and trail development projects over the
next five years.
Dane County Parks will facilitate two public information meetings to kick off the planning
process to update the Dane County Parks and Open Space Plan and explain how
citizens and stakeholders can participate. Both meetings have virtual and in-person
participation options. A quorum of the Park Commission may be present at either or
both meetings, but no business will be conducted.
This is the first of those meetings. It will be held at 7:00 p.m. on April 3 at the Lussier
Family Heritage Center in William G Lunney Lake Farm County Park, 3101 Lake Farm
Road, Madison, 53711. To participate virtually, use this registration link:
As an added outreach effort, Dane County Parks has prepared a survey to further
explore the overall public awareness of the park system and any improvements that
could be made. The survey only takes about five minutes to complete. The survey is
available in both English or Spanish and will be open until May 1. More information about
the plan, and links to the survey in both languages, are available online
