Last Updated: 01/20/2021
New Master Plan Designs Have Been Chosen for North Star Park Expansion!
The North Star Park Master Plan Amendment was adopted by the Board of Park Commissioners meeting on July 11, 2018.
Background
In 2014, North Star Park expanded by 4.7 acres. This new property was dedicated to the City of Madison as part of the North Addition to Grandview Commons development. The master planning process for this expanded property began in 2017, following the City of Madison Master Plan Policy Parks staff held two public input meetings and issued an online survey to gather input from the community on the future of the Parks.
Meetings and materials that informed development of the master plan for North Star Park expansion can be found below.
