    Wonderful, easy paved walk around the small lake. About 1 mile. Clean beach for swimming. Currently no life guard on duty. Nice, new playground. Small area for dog swimming. Plenty of picnic tables and ample parking.

    This is Lucky’s favorite spot to go for a swim! With the weather changing, Fox Brook Park is also great for walks around the lake. Fall is the best!

    Beautiful huge park, great area for family gatherings. Huge lake for fishing, hiking trails, etc. Very large, vast area, even for one's own space to reflect or just be with nature.

    Nice park with small lake for fishing, kayaking, and swimming. They have a fenced in dog swimming area but it is a very small area. Walking path goes around the lake about .9 of a mile.

    Beautiful trail loop around the lake. Nice place to bring family for beach day, they sell concessions/ snacks during the summer months. Dogs welcome, separate swimming area for dogs!!

    They charge a fee but there's clearly no management. There are smokers near the beach. There are beer bottle caps in the lawn where people tend to walk bare foot. There was a dog swimming in the kids area. This year the management is clearly much worse then last year. Two stars for two things: Water quality is good. Bathroom is cool and shower is great.

    Very nice, clean beach, clear swimming area. Also a little playground on the side of the beach. Concession stand employee was super friendly. There's a paved path you can walk around the whole pond. There are pavilions you can rent out for events. You need to pay $6 to get online or have an annual Parks Pass.

    We like this park. Haven't used the beach area yet though. Walking trail around lake is just under a mile and it's wide and paved. Lots of places to fish as well. Great area for multiple experiences. We'll be back many times

    My family and I had a great time swimming and playing in the sand. This was our first time attending this park. I will come many more times.

    Tap Yard beers are always rotating! Plus the views and hike around the pond are awesome! (Dogs welcome) Worth the park admission.

    My 9 year old pitbull finally overcame her fear and learned how to swim. However, our 2nd time there, a very "large" park ranger waddled over and told me that I couldn't be in the water with my dog..... What??!!

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice 1-mile walk around the lake on a paved trail

  • 5/5 Ashley S. 10 months ago on Google
    One of our FAVORITE Waukesha county parks! Clean, and you can use year round for the walking path and playground! One of the best beaches to go to for kids! Beer garden is fun as well!

  • 5/5 Zach S. 10 months ago on Google
    A great area where you can take your doggo for a swim, away from the main beach

  • 4/5 Pete C. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice beach! Great walking trail around the swimming hole.About 1mile loop.

  • 4/5 Bishnu C. 1 year ago on Google
    A good place to spend afternoon or evening infront of the small lake beach and play. For kids there is a beautiful play area as well. Swimming and boat ride also can be done. Nice trail is there to walk around the lake. A good place for wellness and fitness. Specifically beautiful fall colors were there to take photos and enjoy the change in nature.

    Nice swimming area and beach. Perfect for smaller children. No lifeguard on duty. Nice path around lake. There is an entry fee (~$5 for a car)

  • 5/5 BJ W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great park! Nice walking trail. Plenty of garbage cans which helps keep the area clean as possible. Awesome little spot for the doggies to play in the water, which in my opinion is a huge plus. Nice beach area. Bathroom areas are clean.

    Beach was a bit crowded on a Sunday afternoon, but our picnic area was more than adequate for a children's birthday party. Parking is a good hike from picnic and beach, but not strenuous. Didn't expect to see food trucks, but it's an added bonus for days when we don't bring our own food and drinks. Cost was very reasonable. Overall, glad we were introduced to this gem.
