The Greenway Trail System
This comprehensive city-wide off-street system of recreational trails that connect existing and proposed parks together and link these sites with other community facilities and to the regional trail system. Under the envisioned plan, which is available for review at the Parks, Recreation and Forestry office, the Greenway Trail System will be located within and adjacent to the primary environmental corridors in the City wherever possible and would also utilize railroad rights of way in the future as feasible.
Fox Brook Park
This 223-acre park offers a wide variety of recreational and open spaces including a 22-acre quarry lake with a spacious lodge, volleyball area, and sandy beach. The 138-acre wetland is a natural resource, preserved and protected as natural habitat and open space, allowing many bird species like Bold Finches and Indigo Buntings to flourish.
Walk or jog the paved mile-long, multi-use trail that winds around the lake or take a moment to rest in one of the three wildlife viewing areas. You can even rent a pedal boat and take a leisurely cruise around the quarry lake. For an ideal family-friendly activity, bring your fishing pole! We encourage and support the “catch and release” practice of fishing so that kids of all ages can enjoy the thrill of catching a Northern Bass, Bluegill, Perch, or Crappie. Please note that a current, valid, Wisconsin fishing license is required.
