Perched along the Fox River, Frame Park in Waukesha offers a delightful blend of outdoor adventure, family fun, and natural beauty.
With a recently revamped playground and an array of activities for all ages, it’s a wonderful spot for families to spend the day.
Inclusive Playground for All Ages
In 2019, Frame Park’s playground was revamped to create an inclusive and accessible play area for children of all abilities. The playground is packed with engaging features:
- Slides of various heights
- Climbing structures, including faux tall trees that kids can scale
- Interactive elements like a large boat that seats six and rocks back and forth to mimic waves
There’s also adult fitness equipment on-site, so parents can stay active while the kids play.
If you’re visiting with little ones, you’ll appreciate the fence along the Fox River side of the playground, ensuring your toddlers stay safe while exploring.
