Another Memorial Union change unveiled: a new park between union, Red Gym

A new park will get prime lake frontage on the UW-Madison campus, displacing about 70 parking spots and resculpting the lakeshore along Memorial Union ? one of a handful of major changes planned for the campus landmark. The Wisconsin Alumni Association announced plans Wednesday to donate $8 million for a park between the union and the Red Gym, adding a pavilion and temporary boat parking for the public on Lake Mendota.
