Cottage Grove is one of those rare towns that looks good both on paper and in person: a leafy, peaceful suburb outside of Madison, Wisconsin, one of the Midwest's biggest success stories. In fact, in this town the trees might outnumber the people, who come in at just over 6,000 within city limits. For the past fifteen years, the city has been recognized as a Tree City USA for its tree-friendly policies and abundance of greenery. But for many families, the tree-to-people ratio is just what they're looking for. Cottage Grove is an amazing place to raise your children.
For starters, your kids will love the extensive youth sports programs. From the ever-popular Patriots hockey team, to the soccer club, to a flag football league, to cheerleading and dance programs, you're sure to find something that interests each of your children, no matter their age or favorite sport. Great facilities, like a community ice rink and pool, supplement all these activities, and special events throughout the year help introduce children to the world of sports.
Cottage Grove doesn't forget about the "recreation" part of "sports and recreation," either, with Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, babysitting classes for young teens, and other programs designed to nurture kids' hearts and minds as well as their bodies. During the week they'll be attending the schools of Monona Grove School District, named after nearby lakefront city Monona.
The city of Madison itself-- where you might be working-- is worth your time on the weekends too. Forbes magazine is a big fan, listing the city multiple times in their pages as both a "Best City" in the U.S. and a "Best Place for Business and Careers." The city is more than suits and ties though. The Madison music scene alone moves the dial on the city's cultural scene up a few notches. Music festivals, including the National Women's Music Festival, Atwood Summerfest, Waterfront Festival, and the Orton Park Festival bring excitement to the streets, while bands and musicians like Garbage, Les Paul, and Steve Miller have come out of Madison's bars and clubs over the years.
