​Kayak Launches on the Fox River

The Park Foundation of Waukesha, Inc. is raising funds for an accessible kayak launch, meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, as well as a standard launch on the Fox River at Frame Park. The launches will ensure accessibility for all to the Fox River. The Park Foundation of Waukesha matched all donations up to $9,000 to reach the $18,000 goal needed for the launches. Stop by the riverwalk at the Schutze Building to view the new kayak launches.

2017 saw the completion of the new playground at the Frame Park Schuetze Recreation Center, and significant progress on the rain garden and raised gardens for programs. We have committed funding to provide a new Volunteer Trailer and Tools unit, which will provide increased opportunities for volunteer groups to work in and accomplish projects in the parks and trails. We have also committed funding for a Donor/Contributor/Partner recognition station, which will include a sculptural oak tree with donor plaques and leaves to acknowledge our many partners, sponsors, and contributors. 

Over the past few years, we have provided important community support of the following park renovations and activities.
