Alumni Park

The vibrancy of the UW–Madison campus. The beauty of its lakeshore. The energy of Badgers coming together. A storied past and an exciting future. All are at the heart of Alumni Park, a gift to UW–Madison from its graduates to celebrate the positive impact the university and its people have had throughout the world. Alumni Park opened this fall between the Red Gym and the Memorial Union, transforming a mundane parking lot into a spectacular gathering space. Beyond its prime location, park exhibits feature nearly 200 stories of alumni achievement, including successful Business Badgers.
