Councilman Jim Forkum worked with Mayor Karl Dean and Metro Parks to acquire a 380-acre tract of land adjacent to Peeler Park which is currently known as the Taylor Farm. Councilman Forkum, who is on Metro’s Greenway Commission, has been very passionate about developing this land for public enjoyment for quite some time. The Taylor Farm makes the perfect addition to Peeler Park, with its beautiful flat bottoms as well as rolling hills. It is Councilman Forkum’s dream to see the citizens of Madison enjoying the nature center as well as walking trails and possibly a mountain bike trail.
