I typically dislike touristy places but this Farmers market and huge outdoor play space with petting zoo was awesome!!

It wasn't crowded at all, super peaceful. It is also nicely accessible for my best friend who uses a rolling walker. Lots of places to sit and rest

There are very few people here, maybe because it's a holiday. The water is pretty gross. Lots of rocks and seaweed everywhere. The shore smells like fish and you will only be walking in seaweed or rocks in the water. I did not put my head underwater because it was so gross. It is NOT deep at all. I almost waded out to the nearest sailboat in the marina and the water was only to the top of my waistband (I'm 5'11"). This might be a nice place for lounging in a boat. It was okay for swimming, but not the best.

It is totally gated, so no one can make a run for the street.

There are no swings you have to push them on, no ladders you have to hover over while they climb. Just sit on one of the many benches and relax!

RECREATION PARK in Tomah, WI has a recreation building for banquets and weddings, an Adventure…read morePlayground with a playground, zip-line, giant saucer, and barn-themed play structures, and an ice rink for ice hockey and open skating. RECREATION PARK is also the site of the annual Tractor Pull, and the annual Monroe County Fair. The address of this park is 1625 Butts Avenue. Please also keep in mind, that Tomah is eight miles north of another destination-of-choice in America's midwest, namely, the annual Cranberry Festival in Warrens, WI. I've attended the Tractor Pull and the Cranberry Festival in Warrens, and I've also performed on stage (with a clogging group) at Clark Country Fairground in Kahoka, MO. The Tractor Pull provides majestic machines taking the form of customized tractors, and customized trucks. These machines have multiple engines, which together produce horsepower about 100-times greater than that of a typical family car. To view the numbers, one of the competition tractors can have 4 to 6 super charged V-8 engines, or 2 or 3 Allison aircraft engines, or 3 or 4 turbine engines. These engine combinations produce between 9,000 to 12,000 horsepower. The advantages of attending a tractor pull include, the sheer eye candy of these customized tractors, experiencing at close range the exciting noise and puffing smoke of one of the competition runs, the freedom to mingle around parked tractors before the competition event, and simply being in a crowd in the grandstands where everybody is on edge and excited. Attached are a few of my photographs from one of the tractor pulls in Tomah, WI. My motivation for writing this review includes the following. When I was a teenager, I attended a drag race in Fremont, CA where I saw Don Garlits and Tommy Ivo do the quarter mile with a top speed of just over 200 mph. More recently, I attended a drag race in Sonoma County, where the engines were all rear-mounted, and where the top speed in the quarter mile was just over 300 mph. Over the years, I have attended custom car shows in Oakland Coliseum, in Seattle, in New York City, and at Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A. And then, there are the many drawings of dragsters that I made, between the ages of ten and 16 years of age.

We booked a double site as we had two RVs and multiple tents. It sure was plenty spacious! However, we all had noted it would have been great to see photos of the site when booking so we could know more that to expect. It was 100% full sun, and truly not chance for shade. Most other sites at this park had lots of tree coverage, which we would have loved and likely swapped to giving the chance. Being in a wide open space in the dead of summer can be tricky. The grounds are massive and well-kept, with tons of great hiking trails. Overall stunning views and vast green spaces. There's two large lakes with options to kayak, canoe, fish, ,etc. Concession stand with tasty ice cream, and a handful of convenience-store type items. Oh and we also definitely enjoyed the playground area with the kiddos. On the bad side: the shower-houses were pretty terrible. At least the one nearest to our site. It was to the point that half of us chose to forego showering all together just to avoid it. We also had a bummer experience at one of the beaches. We arrived around 10am and were all swimming for a few hours (along with tons of other visitors), when the rangers arrived and promptly closed the beach due to dangerous water bacteria. The closing wasn't the issue, but instead allowing 50+ folks to swim and fish in it before doing so. We'd all wished this water testing was done before the beach 'opened' for the day, as it left us fairly nervous having the quickly be rushed out. Overall, plenty of positives to this gorgeous state park - we made some great camping memories! Just hope those few shared pieces of feedback could help for future plans/changes.
