It's so close you will "yelp" out of surprise because they come so close. They have rentable rooms, my cousin rented one for her brother's memorial and I will say this is a very nice and soothing spot for a memorial with all of the nature surrounding. We took a little walk over to the pier and all of the lily pads are really pretty to look at. There was a small kids/learning area up front and some snake terrariums, too. I only explored the one section, I am sure there is much more to explore. This is a really nice option if you are looking for something to memorialize a loved one. They have bricks all over with little messages honoring people who have passed.

A guided walk along a jack o lantern lit path, with stops for woodland characters- owl, witch and much more. I really should keep that a secret though because it already sells out too fast.

Also, easy parking in the lot and never too crowded!

After carting out to some trails in Muskego that I found were closed, I decided to walk Whitnall park since I haven't before. I found this big parking lot right next to this great playground. The baby isn't quite old enough yet for the playground, but we will be back as soon as she is. Anyways, we took a walk around and found out this was pretty close to Boerner Botanical Gardens. The area is all lush rolling hills, woods, wildlife, ponds, streams and waterfalls. It's seriously beautiful and definitely worth walking through. My only complaint is that I read on the Internet that this park had a paved trail, and it did. The paved trail, however, was actually a road. Most folks were very careful and took it slow driving, but there was a few dingleberries who decided to whip through like it was a highway, so for that, I knocked off a star.

This is a tiny little park at the end of the Root River parkway in Greenfield. It is quiet and…read moreperfect if you're looking for someplace to escape and relax or read a book. It has a small playground and a couple of picnic tables, but that's about it. So, why the four stars? It faces a huge grassy area that is pretty nice for watching wildlife, whether you're looking at swallows swooping up and down after mosquitoes, or deer grazing in the tall grass. On one end of the park,the lawn gives way to trees and shrubs. Behind the playground is a bit of lawn, and more trees. Behind the trees starts a fairly quiet neighborhood that I bet many people don't know exists. On the other end of the park is Meadow Drive and, across the street, is the home of Bill Radler, breeder of the Knock Out rose! His yard is beautiful to look at as you sit in the parking lot of the park... 32/2018

I think hole 1 now used to be hole 18. It's my favorite hole. Nice Mach 3 baskets throughout. Cement tee boxes. Finding the next home is rather intuitive. East to find and plenty of parking. Not far off the freeway. It seems the signage hasn't been refreshed in a LONG time. Many have no signs, and those that do have a sign are completely ineligible. Shot 2 over par and was pretty happy, though I had at least 2-3 easy birdie shanks.

My favorite part is the bridge over the creek entering from the West. There's a playground, a paved walk, and some pleasant garden areas.
