Country Grove Park has a new park shelter with restrooms, new basketball courts and a futsal court.
While the items like the futsal court have been available for months to play on, which is slightly enclosed space for soccer utilizing a smaller sized ball that doesn’t bounce as high more akin to indoor soccer, the city will now host a ribbon cutting on May 21.
Located on Madison’s far southwest side, the park is roughly 45 acres.
“Country Grove Park has long been one of the most heavily used parks for youth recreation in Madison, yet for years, families and children gathered here without access to something as basic and essential as a public bathroom,” former District 7 Alder Nasra Wehelie said in a statement. “With gratitude, I celebrate Country Grove Park as a space where children can play and grow, where young athletes can compete, and where families can come together, connect, and strengthen our District 7 community.”
The ribbon cutting will begin at 3:30 p.m. with remarks from Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, Alder Badri Lankella and former Alder Nasra Wehelie.
Country Grove Park is located at 7353 East Pass, west of Verona Road (Hwy 18/151) and south of McKee Road.
