Parks and open spaces are important and valuable attributes to a community.  Outdoor recreation contributes to the mental and physical well-being of the community's citizens.  Developed park lands provide areas for active recreation, entertainment, and education.  Open spaces, or undeveloped park lands provide natural resource preservation, wildlife habitat, outdoor education and passive recreational activities.  Both developed and undeveloped parks provide transition and separation from other developed land uses.   

Please remember that is unlawful to harass wildlife.  Please respect our wildlife that are present in our parks. You might not know, but it's not a good idea to feed the ducks and geese in our parks.  By feeding the birds, they lose their natural instincts for survival.  It also causes overpopulation and a big mess.  The birds can also become susceptible to disease and predation.  Please do not feed the birds.

Golfing areas can be found in Bluhm Farm Park and Denoon Park if you want to keep your swing in shape.

Bathrooms are open only  from May-September, 8:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m.  A key request form and a $25 deposit is required should your group desire to have access to bathrooms during October-April. 

Dogs are not allowed in parks; only on the Muskego Recreation Trail with leash 10' or less (dog owners must clean up after their dogs).
