It's been a few years since I've been to Fox Brook Park. Normally I came just to enjoy the…read morebeach/swimming and have since back in late elementary school! This time I came to test out the full expanse of the water with my paddle board. I came with my brother who had his kayak and fished. He caught a rainbow trout (and released). We stayed on the water for almost 4 hours - the water was nice and clean and it was busy but not crazy. The beach area was definitely a popular busy zone but most the people were in the designated swimming area versus the open lake. Just a great time and will be back! If looking to grab a spot on the dry land I would recommend arriving before 11am- that's when it started filling up more.

What a nice green park with convenient access to nature less than a half hour from downtown…read moreMilwaukee! Fox Brook has a swimming pond area, a pavilion for the beer garden and a rentable pavilion at Picnic Area 1. I rented out the pavilion for 30+ guests and it has plenty of space, can hold Up to 200. It also has a volleyball net and a cut little loop on the prairie. Lots of migrating birds in the spring! The reservation comes with a fee of course which you can reserve online. There is a $7 fee to enter the park as well and can also be done online. There's a paved trail that loops the swimmable Pond shared with bikers. It's a peaceful place to walk your dog, or by yourself or with friends/family/significant other. There is also a few offshoot unpaved trails that cuts into the trees for a short while to walk along the trees. Pretty decent if you're looking to take a quick walk and enjoy nature or have a meetup and enjoy some beer at the beer garden.

This rating is particular only to the disc golf course which we played. We played the 18 holes…read morewith amatuers and experts in a group and both had fun. The course starts off very long for amatures but as it goes along it becomes interesting and challenging for both players. I think my favorite hole was the one in the front nine which has a bunch of thin trees close together between the pad and the chains. It was really fun and interestingly different than other courses I've played. This was fairly easy to find your discs if you got off the beaten path.

There's a decent…read moreplayground too, so if you're kids are like ones I know and they complain about how tired they are after amazingly biking 8 miles they can run around like monkeys for another 1/2 hour. Also there's a good sled hill, and looks like plenty of trails for cross-country skiing. Also in these snowy times the bugline is the domain of snowmobiles. Just be careful at the crossing of Lake Five Road and the bugline, there are a lot of bike collisions here according to the state statistics. Don't add to them, drive and bike carefully!

Fancy new playground and splashpad right off the Bugline Trail. Plenty of parking, and a nice spot…read moreto go after the library down the street. The playground is accessible so that means lots of stuff that even little able-bodied kids can do without help. The zip lines were a big hit, and I appreciated that I didn't have to lift anyone up like at say the Woodside school playground. Kids also liked the accessible merry-go-round which they described as being like the trains in Ba Sing Se (if your kids haven't watched The Legend of Korra, watch it with them). Otherwise the equipment is all newer designs that I haven't seen elsewhere, so it should be new and exciting for your kids. It can get crowded, especially when it's warm. It's outside, but no one was wearing masks during COVID-19, so be safe out there. There's also a combination tennis court/basketball court there, and an adjacent disc golf course in the Village Park proper. So definitely worth a stop if you're in the area with kids and need them to burn off some energy. It's one of the nicest I've seen in a long while, so if you're a connoisseur it might be worth a long detour.
