This park has a fountain with a big statue of children frolicking around inside of it. There are plenty of picnic tables as well as tons of green space and trees, which are perfect for shade in the hotter months. There is also a playground that is perfect for kids and adults (there were certainly a few times that my college friends and I would venture onto the playground and swing on the swings). This park is just the epitome of Appleton. Even though this place is pretty big, it really has that sort of friendly, mid-west small town feel to it. When I've gone to this park to relax reading a book in the sunshine, I've always heard the laughter of children playing, people walking dogs, strolling, etc. It's so idyllic. If you're looking for a place to bring your kids, or to walk, or have a picnic, this is the place to go!

It is located on the north side of Appleton sandwiched between Northland Avenue and Ballard road, both easily accessible from highway 41. It is a huge park and your children can run around freely! They have what I call a Dream Park play structure, that accommodates multiple ages and boasts access for any mobility needs, which is great! During the summer, there are "misting showers" that the kids can press and cool off without getting drenched. The city of Appleton also hosts its 4th of July event here and that is a fun experience in and of itself. There is a pond, bandstand and shelter to rent, which makes for a complete peaceful and pretty environment to spend time in. Aside from huge fields and a great hill to climb (a HUGE sledding spot in winter,) sports fields (baseball, etc.) we will always return to Memorial Park.

Owned by the Cots organization, this project, now in it's second year, aims to use the grounds to grow food and feed those in the Appleton food desert. Riverview serves as a means to establish work habits and provide jobs, paid and unpaid, for many in the community. Many hoop houses have been erected, and garden beds are being prepared. Food bearing plants are being added to those already in place outside of the hoop houses. Sound organic principals are being practiced under the able leadership of Oren Jakobson. Certain areas of the grounds are dedicated to park like persuits. The former Country Club is being made into a community center. Volunteer driven. This addresses many needs of the community.

There is plenty of green and tons of space for picnics, running around, outside games with a playground and special events throughout the year like Mile of Music.
