Explore County Grounds Park with your family! 
 

There is a new book hike in County Grounds Park through September, changing every other month.  From 87th and Watertown Plank Road go north, then west 0.5 miles on 87th Street and park at the blue square "P." Hike a block, back east to a gravel road that goes south. The trail quickly veers left (east) again into the woods.

​

Bring some youth and check it out soon! Wander the trail to discover stories and colorful illustrations that bring each stop to life - making reading fun while enjoying nature and the outdoors.

​

Since 2024, County Grounds Book Hikes have been financially sponsored by the Wauwatosa Youth Commission, in coordination with Tosa's All-City Read, Friends of County Grounds Park, and Milwaukee County Parks.
