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. They'd love to have you stop by and chip in.

The De Pere Riverwalk and Wildlife Viewing Pier is aptly named. It's a walking path around a river,…read moreit's a pier, it's a place to spot wildlife. This park is located in downtown De Pere, and consists of paved walking/strolling trails that wind around the Fox River. The riverwalk extends to a pier, where you can look out onto the river and see lots of birds, including pelicans. The pelicans seemed to like hanging out by the rushing dam -- they were catching fish in the river. Humans were catching fish too. There were several people fishing, and one person that I saw caught a huge fish. There's a sign on the pier that tells you what kind of fish live in the river: walleye, sturgeon, carp, perch and others. Apparently, you can kayak in the Fox River, and there's a lock here that takes you down the dam. I didn't get to experience that, but supposedly it's a very cool thing to do here.

They were flexible in working with us to put together a trip that fit our time constraints. They were even good enough to schedule picture-perfect weather for our day although I'm not sure how they did that. They were all set when we arrived, gave a quick safety talk, and took a group picture before we headed onto the water. The guides were great with those in our group that were apprehensive about kayaking while giving our experienced paddlers the freedom to fully enjoy the river while still making sure the young people were in safe water. Our experienced paddlers were the ones who set the pace for our trip with the guides pointing out things of interest on the shoreline (or the eagles that popped up several times overhead). With the speed of the river that day (it does vary) and the amount of paddling we did, we arrived at our take-out point at just the right time where I bus awaited us. The pictures FRKC posted on Facebook of our trip were also a really nice touch. I'm looking forward to booking with them again.

What a delightful find, hidden away in Chilton Wisconsin. Ledge View Nature center is a free,…read moreinteractive nature center featuring live animals (various tortoise, a bat, frogs and snakes), taxidermy animals (bear, bobcat, hedgehog, etc), and learning activities inside the building. There are educational boards on historic sedimentary layers with rock specimens, as well as opportunities to learn about laws regarding sturgeon fishing in Wisconsin. The nature center provides maps for various walking/hiking trails on the property. There is a Sugar Shack, which is used at certain times of the year for educating on maple syrup. The trail map was a wee bit confusing, as it doesn't provide any key regarding mileage and may, in fact, be a mirror image of the trails itself, but there are signs available. A forest trail takes you around the entire property. I recommend the rock quarry trail for a good view. As a sign on a tree indicates, the trail is a dead end and leads to the view of beautiful rock formations. There is also a very large tower you can climb to enjoy views of the surrounding farm land. I came with family. We walked approximately 3 miles in a loop, but didn't cover all the trails. There are shorter distances. There are also caves on site that are open on Saturdays at particular times only- call for details about availability, timing, and private tours. There is a price to go on the 1 mile cave tour. There is a large space for group sessions. We went today and no one was working the front desk. Overall, the Ledge View Nature Center has a plethora of family fun opportunities that highlight the beauty of Wisconsin.
