Saratoga Springs Park
25 acres with a brook and natural springs running through it, three bridges to cross, a pine plantation and a maze of walking trails make-up Saratoga Springs Park. This unique park was donated to the Village of Star Prairie by Margaret Lyngass in 1989 in memory of her late husband Matt. It is located approximately a ¼ mile down Saratoga Avenue from STH 65 on the south side of the road. Some of history that remains in this park are a clay crock in the spring brook used for food storage, an old hotel foundation, car drive shafts used as fence posts and part of a dam that held spring water back for recreation.
