Whether you are looking for a day of leisure, a picnic with your family, or just a great place to revitalize, Olbrich Park is the place to be. Located on Madison's East side along Lake Monona and adjacent to Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Olbrich Park is one of Madison's largest lakefront parks. With its diverse athletic facilities you are sure to enjoy a good game of soccer, volleyball, softball, or football. Bring a team or just a friend to play on the basketball or tennis courts. In the summer you can watch the ducks, fish off the pier, launch your boat or just savor the beauty of the open water. Bring the kids for a swim at the beach or have playtime on the play equipment. During the winter practice your skills at ice skating or bring a sled and glide down the sledding hill. Boat rentals available include kayaks, paddleboards and canoes seasonally.
