Parks around Madison: Swallowtail Park (Middleton)

We love exploring the local parks! Today we headed over to a favorite - swallowtail park. It's a favorite because it has big kid and little kid equipment, nice sidewalks for riding scooters and it seems to always have a surprise for us to uncover there :-)

Location:

It's back in a neighborhood at the address:

901 Swallowtail Dr
Madison, WI 53717

Parking is on the street.

Highlights:

• There is big kid equipment and if you don't get motion sick - you can join in the fun!

• The contraption to the right allows for two people to spin!
• There is great little kid equipment too!  

• This is a motorcycle with a sidecar - perfect for imaginative play!
• The surprises are what make this park fun!  There is a pond to the northeast corner of the park!
• There is a geocache hidden in this park and it's an easy find for the big kids - bring a pencil but nothing to leave!
