Informational report on the 2025 American Family Insurance Championship’s impact on Cherokee Marsh Park – North Unit

 

Body

From June 2, 2025 through June 8, 2025 the Steve Stricker Foundation utilized the parking lots and driveway of Cherokee Marsh Park – North Unit to support the American Family Insurance PGA Championship golf event which was held at TPC Wisconsin, neighboring the park. The event required substantial coordination between the event organizers and various agencies in the City of Madison due to its draw of thousands of people to the event, and its impact on the traffic, neighborhood, and park. For the duration of the event, only pedestrians and bicycles were allowed to enter the park via Sherman Avenue. 

 

This informational report will include feedback that the event organizers and the Parks Division staff have received regarding the event and its impacts on the park.
