The Dane County Parks and Open Space Plan is a countywide comprehensive outdoor recreation and natural resource plan that is updated every five years to maintain eligibility for State Stewardship grant funds. Updates to the plan include identifying recreational needs and significant natural, cultural, and historical resources in the county to be considered for protection.
Dane County Parks has started the planning process to solicit input on the 2025-2030 plan. Public feedback is important and will help shape the future of Dane County Parks.
