Madison's Tenney Park air quality benefits from the historic Lake Mendota shoreline park's open water geometry providing natural ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding Sherman Avenue corridor contributes modest local sources, while the lake's consistent breezes and the park's greenspace generally maintain Tenney Park among Madison's more pleasantly ventilated lakeside park environments throughout most of the year.
