    This beautiful park is located about 15 minutes east of the I-94 freeway. There is a driveway that…read moreleads to a large parking lot far enough away that one cannot hear automobiles from the adjacent road. The park hosts a large pavilion (it can be rented out) with a lot of picnic tables that are like brand new, grills, nice indoor bathrooms, a softball diamond, a large playground, a basketball goal, a sand volleyball court, horseshoe pits, and plentiful areas for picnics. During the time of my first visit, I was unable to explore the hiking trails that lead through the natural areas of prairies, woodlands, and wetlands. However, I was able to enjoy the tranquility of the surround landscape while discussing upcoming plans with friends. There were a couple family with kids playing at the playground and a man walking his dog along the edge of the manicured lawn and prairie plants. The lights are on a timer at the Pavilion and turned on at dusk. The women's restroom was clean and I did not see any spiders (this is extremely important to me.... I hope it continues to remain spider free!). After a Google search, I discovered this park was created recently to serve as a "pollinator paradise" that also slows runoff from the surrounding landscape into the Pike River. *my heart* It's everything I went to graduate school for and then some. This is an ideal place for a nature hike, meeting, taking your kids to play, picnic, family reunion, bridal/baby shower, etc. I was really impressed with the up-keep. Although it is a 35 minute drive, I plan on returning to explore the hiking trails with my pup and meeting up with friends. This is definitely a successful project that was completed by Mount Pleasant and Root-Pike WIN (with assistance from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, Fund for Lake Michigan, and other partnerships). 5 stars!!!

    Beautiful little spot in a slightly busy area. Driving in and walking through the park you wouldn't…read morerealize you're next to a busy thoroughfare. Little signs throughout the park noting flora and fauna. You can rent canoes and jump into the river for a little slow moving adventure. We walked through the different trails, past ponds with fronds (yes, that rhyme was on purpose, and just enjoyed ourselves. There is a great little gift shop that had really reasonable priced gifts. I got Wisconsin made maple syrup, a river bend t-shirt, and a little ceramic bowl I use to hold jewelry. Great little spot to get back to nature in Racine.

    What a hidden gem! My friend and I wanted to go kayaking on a whim and everywhere else was booked…read more For $15 for the first hour and $5 for every additional hour, this was a bargain. They don't have a ton of kayaks and canoes, hence the 4 not 5 stars. The boat landing is easy to get the kayaks in and out of the river. They had a small selection of single and tandem kayaks. I would suggest bringing your own water, sunscreen and bug spray. The bugs weren't bad today, but I could see how they could be. You have to take the kayaks off the stand, launch the kayaks and return them to the stand by yourself (not difficult, but just so people know what to expect). I will definitely be back! (They also have snow shoes, skis and fishing poles)
