The park is located on the north side of Northport Drive behind the Lakeview Annex Building. The 180 acres of land for this park was donated as a special purpose park for the youth of Dane County. Under the conditions of the donation, the land is not yet available for public use. Planning has begun and when developed, it will be a combined recreational and conservancy park for young people. The northwest shore of Lake Mendota offers an ideal setting for shaded picnic and campground areas.
