Katie’s Garden, located next to the Platteville Regional Chamber and Wisconsin Welcome Center (275 Business Highway 151 West, Platteville, WI 53818), has had dozens of volunteers donate their time and talents to make this one of the most beautiful places on earth! This garden is full of color all season long and has benches, tables, picnic areas, and walking paths throughout. The focal point is a beautiful gazebo where one can sit and enjoy the beauty of the gardens. It has become a destination for weddings, wedding receptions, garden parties, and picnics. Countless photographers enjoy the beauty of the garden during all four seasons. New gardens are constantly being added to enhance the beauty and tranquility.

Katie’s Garden is the anchor to the Platteville Community Arboretum and Rountree Gardens project that encompasses areas along the Rountree Branch Trail. The trail, which meanders along the Rountree Branch stream through the Platteville community, is a picturesque, quiet hiking and biking trail that is becoming a focal point of the community. As the Chamber and Welcome Center are located along the trail, the creation of Katie’s Garden is only the beginning of a truly wonderful experience for our visitors and community alike. A visit to Katie’s Garden is a must!

A beautiful public 18-hole golf course located on Northside of Platteville off of Hwy 80. The club has a driving range and restaurant/banquet area. The Platteville Golf Course is a public course laid out in the rolling hillsides of beautiful Southwest Wisconsin. The course is challenging, yet a fun-to-play course that offers some of the best greens in the area. The greens are all small, quick and many will punish you if you hit above the hole.
