MADISON, Wis. â The dozens of homeless people living in an encampment at Madisonâs Reindahl Park will be ordered to move by Sunday May 9, according to the city.
This comes after Madison forced evictions to those living at McPike Park earlier this year.
In 2020, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway signed an emergency order that would allow encampments under the proper guidelines. However Saturday, the cityâs Community Development Director Jim OâKeefe said encampments are not the direction Madison wants to head in.
OâKeefe says much of the decision to order an eviction at Reindahl was driven by Madisonâs Parks Department as well as neighbors in the area who wish to use the park again.

In 2020, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway signed an emergency order that would allow encampments under the proper guidelines. However Saturday, the city’s Community Development Director Jim O’Keefe said encampments are not the direction Madison wants to head in.
O’Keefe says much of the decision to order an eviction at Reindahl was driven by Madison’s Parks Department as well as neighbors in the area who wish to use the park again.
Others, however, say the evictions are not the solution.
“Moving people out of here doesn’t solve any problems,” said Sara Andrews, who says she’s served the homeless community since the fall of 2020. “It just moves the problem to another location and spreads the problem out.”

Martin eventually contacted Bill Quackenbush, a representative of the Cultural Preservation Office, and in cooperation with the City of Madison Parks Department they arranged for an introductory event to take place this Friday afternoon. Men and women and boys and girls of all ages are invited to participate, and Quackenbush will be on hand to give lessons and explain the rules and procedures to prospective players.
“This is something that was probably played around here previously by Ho-Chunks that lived here,” Martin said. “It’s a game that’s indigenous to here … it’s not only learning something about the culture that is indigenous to Madison, but it’s also fun.”
