From Wikipedia:

Tenney Park – Yahara River Parkway

Tenney Park – Yahara River Parkway are two historic parks developed from 1900 to 1911 along the Yahara River in Madison, Wisconsin. Both were designed by Ossian Cole Simonds, the father of Prairie School landscape architecture. The parkway runs parallel with the Yahara River, leading to the park where the river meets Lake Mendota. In 1999, the park and parkway were successfully nominated and listed on the State and the National Register of Historic Places.
