Fancy new playground and splashpad right off the Bugline Trail. Plenty of parking, and a nice spot…read moreto go after the library down the street. The playground is accessible so that means lots of stuff that even little able-bodied kids can do without help. The zip lines were a big hit, and I appreciated that I didn't have to lift anyone up like at say the Woodside school playground. Kids also liked the accessible merry-go-round which they described as being like the trains in Ba Sing Se (if your kids haven't watched The Legend of Korra, watch it with them). Otherwise the equipment is all newer designs that I haven't seen elsewhere, so it should be new and exciting for your kids. It can get crowded, especially when it's warm. It's outside, but no one was wearing masks during COVID-19, so be safe out there. There's also a combination tennis court/basketball court there, and an adjacent disc golf course in the Village Park proper. So definitely worth a stop if you're in the area with kids and need them to burn off some energy. It's one of the nicest I've seen in a long while, so if you're a connoisseur it might be worth a long detour.

I was so excited to find the splash pad. It is huge! Fun for all ages, including a big water dump,…read morewhich is kind of powerful for the little ones but the big ones love it! It's adjacent to an excellent playground again for all ages. I highly recommend the splash pad and park.

The course starts off very long for amatures but as it goes along it becomes interesting and challenging for both players. I think my favorite hole was the one in the front nine which has a bunch of thin trees close together between the pad and the chains. It was really fun and interestingly different than other courses I've played. This was fairly easy to find your discs if you got off the beaten path.

Great spot to get on the bugline, which is a nice ride in either direction. There's a decent…read moreplayground too, so if you're kids are like ones I know and they complain about how tired they are after amazingly biking 8 miles they can run around like monkeys for another 1/2 hour. Also there's a good sled hill, and looks like plenty of trails for cross-country skiing. Also in these snowy times the bugline is the domain of snowmobiles. Just be careful at the crossing of Lake Five Road and the bugline, there are a lot of bike collisions here according to the state statistics. Don't add to them, drive and bike carefully!

I took botany in college so I'm familiar with the most of plants in Wisconsin. So when I have scratching my head with unfamiliar flora, that means something. People swim, fish, letting dogs swim, pedal boating, swimming for open water companions, enjoying carefree outdoor activities in the park. It's wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature.

It's been a few years since I've been to Fox Brook Park. Normally I came just to enjoy the…read morebeach/swimming and have since back in late elementary school! This time I came to test out the full expanse of the water with my paddle board. I came with my brother who had his kayak and fished. He caught a rainbow trout (and released). We stayed on the water for almost 4 hours - the water was nice and clean and it was busy but not crazy. The beach area was definitely a popular busy zone but most the people were in the designated swimming area versus the open lake. Just a great time and will be back! If looking to grab a spot on the dry land I would recommend arriving before 11am- that's when it started filling up more.

We were in town for a July 4 getaway vacation. Since we were unfamiliar with the Milwaukee area, I…read moresearched online for parks hosting 4th of July fireworks shows. With our hotel at the nearby Residence Inn in Brookfield, Williams Mitchell park was within range and we headed over there around 8pm. We barely made it there just in time before the park closed it's gate to the public. Pro tip, you do want to arrive at the latest by the 7:00 pm hour to secure a spot because as mentioned by the time we arrived by 8:45, they were closing the park off. The parking spot we secured was the second to last lot in the vicinity. This park is large. In fact, it's over 400+ acres large and boasts a total of 5 public parking lots. Lots 1-3 were already at capacity so we were in lot 4 and we still had a 20 minute walk (each way) to get to the main lawn where everyone was to watch the show. Experienced park goers came equipped with wagons filled with tarps, collapsible chairs, picnic baskets, foldable tables, lighting and meals. Some even set up hours beforehand and set up tents. If these are your aims, you want to come much earlier than 7:00pm to secure a good spot and get your gear situated. The show was spectacular. It was at least 45 minutes in length and the displays were big and bold. I only wished they had accompanying music to go with the firework show. Perhaps a combination of classical, rock, and current pop hits to enhance the experience. Like I said, the park is big and even though we were there a half hour before the start of the show, we still managed to get a decent view of the fireworks. Another Pro tip is to bring bug spray. Seriously. You will need it here. I was unfortunate to not prepare for this and I left with double digit mosquito bites on both legs and feet. The mosquitoes really like me for some reason. Dealing with the aftermath was not fun considering all the itching that followed but despite this, it was worth it. Next year I plan to be armed with Deet and perhaps bathe myself in OFF spray.
