McPike Park is a public park located on the shores of Lake Monona in Madison. Originally established in 1898 as a privately-owned amusement park by Peter McPike, it operated for nearly eighty years as a popular local attraction featuring rides, games, and entertainment. The park transitioned to city ownership in 1989 and underwent significant renovations. Today it functions primarily as a green space offering walking paths, picnic areas, and serves as a venue for community events including concerts and festivals. It remains a prominent recreational area for residents and visitors alike with views of the lakefront.
