McDermott Park Capstone Project

In the fall of 2015, the Friends of McDermott Park applied to be a capstone project at the Department of Landscape Architecture College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Wisconsin Madison.

Fortunately we were chosen and senior Xue Xiong wrote a beautiful plan for our park.

We received the finished plan late in 2016.  This Monday, March 27th, that plan will be presented to the Advisory Parks Board.

Friends of McDermott Park spokesperson, Janelle Anderson, talked this morning with Greg Stensland on Between the Lines about the history, the park and the plan. Click here to listen.
