MADISON (WKOW) -- A new park in downtown Madison officially debuted Thursday.

Capitol Centre Park is a renovated courtyard space at the Madison Senior Center on West Mifflin Street.

Leaders and people who live in the area are happy to see it open.

"The maintenance of the courtyard was sort of sketchy. It was supposed to be the Madison Senior Center, but they had no budget for it. Any other result was that the courtyard, over 40 years, really went into decay. And it is a marvelous re-imagination. I mean, the courtyard wasn't a patch on this even when it was new," neighbor Paul Quinn said.

Now, everyone can enjoy the public park.

There's new landscaping, seating, nature play areas and bike racks.
