Parks Map

 

Perry currently has two parks:

 

The 30-acre Hauge Historic Park was established as the Town's first park for the purpose of maintaining and enhancing the character of the 1852 Hauge Log Church historic site. It also serves to provide residents and visitors with recreational facilities for hiking, picnics, or other passive activities. Much of the park's open area is presently undergoing native prairie restoration.

The Daleyville Park is located on the west side of the Daleyville settlement and is approximately one acre in size. Located on property donated by the Ranum family, it will be developed as a community-based family park.

 

For further information about either of the Perry parks contact a member of the town's Parks and Open Space Committee.

Leaf Views, Vistas, and Points of Interest

The rolling terrain of the geologic driftless area in which Perry is located results in many panoramic views and vistas, with views of the Blue Mounds being most prominent. Many varied patterns of croplands along with existing (or remnants) of oak savannas also serve to enhance the town's visual character. These factors combine to offer several locations with exceptional scenic views and vistas. The following is a listing of some of those areas (see map below):

  • A high point on Lee Valley Road (No. 3)
  • Second Hauge Church Cemetery - Highway A (No. 5)
  • View North from Perry Lutheran Church in Daleyville (No. 6)
  • Intersection of Perry Center Road and Spring Valley Road (No. 8)
  • Sutter Road, view to the north (No. 10)


In addition, there are at least three roadways that provide unique views and scenes for the driving, biking or walking public. These include:

  • Highway 78 – North Town line to Highway Z (No. 4)
  • Perry Center Road (No. 12)
  • Lee Valley Road (No. 13)
