We've talked about coming to Fete de Marquette in years past, just have never made it until this year. McPike park is relatively new to Madison, established about 10 years ago, and creates a nice open space near downtown Madison. Initially, it was even called Central Park. There is a skate park and some facilities, but mostly it is open lawn (a very well-kept lawn compared to other parks) with few trees mostly on the border.
We went about mid-day on Saturday, early enough that it wasn't too crowded. The skies were mostly clouds and there was a good breeze. We spent a couple hours, then left as the clouds started to break up and the sun made it very hot. Atwoodfest is coming soon, and so is Eken Park Fest in August. There are more but we'll just have to see.
A few more pictures after the break.
