Jacobus Park


After playing at Elm Groove Park the other day I decided to do some research about parks in the area. The Milwaukeemoms.com website had a great list of local parks as well as ratings. I made a list of parks that I want to visit with the boys this summer. The first on the list was Jacobus Park in Wauwatosa. We stopped their for a brief visist before going to the doctor (Caleb has an ear infection...poor baby).


Jacoubus is located on Honeycreek Parkway which is a block south of N. 68th and State Street. It was a great park! The park had a jungle gym for the big kids and the toddlers. The surface was squishy and safe for Caleb to crawl on. They also had swings, a sandpit, bathrooms, a wading pool and a large grassy area for kids to run around and play.

Casey and Caleb gave it a 4 out of 5. If would have been a perfect 5 if it were a tad bit bigger.


Here is the list of the other parks we hope to visit this summer:
  1. Alcott Park in Milwaukee (97th and Wilbur)
  2. Pewaukee Lakefront Park
  3. Sussex Village Park off of Main street
  4. Mitchell Park on Capitol Drive in Brookfield
  5. Marx Park on Barker in Brookfield
  6. Kinderberg Park in Germantown
  7. Hales Corners Park on New Berlin Road
  8. Menomonee Park on Townlind road
  9. Willowood Park on Silver Spring in Menomonee Falls
