Body

Starting in 2016, the Fitchburg Library in partnership with the City of Madison Leopold/Arbor Hills NRT, the Leopold Elementary School and numerous other community partners started weekly community programing in Aldo Leopold Park. The programming includes free summer meals lunch and one evening per week of free family activities. The programming has been successful to bring positive activity to the park and build community for the residents. In 2018, about 50 people attended the lunch program daily and about 200 people attended each evening program. The community would like to see the programming continue for years to come.
