Lake View Hill Park is 48.3 acres on the north side of Madison, WI. In 2006 Dane County placed all 48 acres surrounding the former Lake View Sanatorium into conservancy.
The goal of the Friends of Lake View Hill is to support the mission of the Dane County Parks Division for Lake View Hill to become an accessible yet passive, nature-oriented park that protects the area's natural resources while allowing visitors to explore the wonders of the unique environment of the area. The purpose of this charitable organization shall be to render support to Lake View Hill Park through programs and activities that provide education, restoration, preservation and development of cultural and natural resources representing Dane County's heritage. This organization will strive to support activities that are outlined in the Lake View Hill Park master plan produced by the Dane County Parks Division. This master plan is guided by protection of the natural topography, soils, vegetation patterns, environmental corridors, historic and cultural landmarks, and geology of the property formerly used for the Lake View Sanatorium.
