    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.

    What a nice green park with convenient access to nature less than a half hour from downtown…read moreMilwaukee! Fox Brook has a swimming pond area, a pavilion for the beer garden and a rentable pavilion at Picnic Area 1. I rented out the pavilion for 30+ guests and it has plenty of space, can hold Up to 200. It also has a volleyball net and a cut little loop on the prairie. Lots of migrating birds in the spring! The reservation comes with a fee of course which you can reserve online. There is a $7 fee to enter the park as well and can also be done online. There's a paved trail that loops the swimmable Pond shared with bikers. It's a peaceful place to walk your dog, or by yourself or with friends/family/significant other. There is also a few offshoot unpaved trails that cuts into the trees for a short while to walk along the trees. Pretty decent if you're looking to take a quick walk and enjoy nature or have a meetup and enjoy some beer at the beer garden.

    This might be my new go-to spot for space weather photography! There's a small parking lot on the…read morenorth side of the park that has a clear, open view for shooting auroras. While the auroras weren't overly eye visible, we still got some good photos from this spot. Would love to come back for a stronger geomagnetic event!

    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.
