Dudgeon-Monroe Green Spaces

Madison has always been considered a "green town" which boasts many parks, both large and small. The city park system as well as the Arboretum are inherited from the vision and generosity of turn-of-the-century Madison progressives like John M. Olin. As director of the Madison Park Pleasure Drive Association, Olin believed that parks were an integral part of city life: not only the "lungs of the city" but also necessary recreation areas for city dwellers. Today, we in the Dudgeon-Monroe Neighborhood especially benefit from such a legacy.
