Confirmed from Katie's Garden's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Landscaped outdoor space featuring a stream and various gardens.
What runners say about Katie's Garden
“Well kept and a very beautiful garden, it is a great place to get some photos, relax, or just go to see the scenery.”
“Beautiful place to visit, nature abounds along a bubbling brook with paved walking paths; perennials adorn the way and there's even a fairy garden!”
“Beautiful and peaceful park that has the Rountree Branch creek flowing thru it, next to the Platteville Regional Chamber office.”
This is a beautiful memorial garden next to the Platteville Chamber of Commerce. Volunteers keep the beds diverse and gorgeous all summer long. My children especially love the fairy gardens. There are benches and tables and a pretty slow river with lots of shade. The walking/biking trail goes right through it.
Katie's Garden is an destination for Southwest Wisconsin. Not only is the landscape lovely, it offers a connection to miles of walking/biking trails and access to the Platteville Regional Chamber -- the premier location for tourist information in Southwest Wisconsin.
I've been here several times for weddings and just walking through. This is such a beautiful place!!! Theres a stream that runs through here too. Plenty of flowers and a sensory area made from plants.
Katie's Garden is an amazing place anytime of year. I was just there to check out the Christmas lights. Amazing job. Love visiting through out the year. They do a great job creating an amazing place to reconnect with nature. Flowers are always awesome, and you can walk along the little river that lines the garden.
