Hey, Northsiders. Get ready to build connections with your neighbors in City of Madison Parks with the return of Parks Alive this summer. Held in nine parks across the city, Parks Alive events are a chance for residents to visit their neighborhood green spaces, listen to music, participate in fun, family-friendly activities, enjoy a snack and get to know their neighbors.

A goal of Parks Alive is to build strong neighborhoods by enhancing opportunities for residents to get to know one another while utilizing neighborhood assets, like parks. Similar to last year, events planned for 2023 will vary by location and day but residents can expect DJs, food carts to provide a free snack, and lots of fun activities for residents of all ages.

There will be four Parks Alive events on the Northside hosted on the following Wednesdays from 5–8 pm at the south end of Warner Park along Trailsway: June 28, July 12, July 26 and Aug. 9.

Be sure to check out the City of Madison Parks website for more details and list of all events: cityofmadi
