About the Venue

The Jenni and Kyle Foundation Accessible Playground at Brittingham Park was Madison's first accessible playground and remains one of the city's most important inclusive play spaces. Families get a central park setting with an accessible playground near the reservable shelter, parking, restrooms, drinking water, and additional lakeside amenities. The broader park also adds a nature nook, open space, and easy pairing with a longer outdoor outing along Monona Bay. This works especially well for mixed-age visits that need both a destination feel and practical family support.
