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.
