Doepke Recreation Area

We love this park so much! There is a smaller playground which is rest for younger kids. My littles always love the bus area. There’s also a larger playground. Each playground has a swing set. The kids will get dirty though! The little kid side has small rocks and the big kid side has recycled tire and there are some workout areas with sand. My kids always come home happy but filthy. In addition to the fun playground, there’s an awesome nature trail that goes into the woods. My kids love to just play with pinecones and collect sticks etc.. It’s shady and cool, but bring bug spray!

Great clean park. Nature walk is a nice stroll through the wetlands as well! Bathrooms publicly available with plenty of parking as well. Great place to host a picnic, or take your kid for an hour of fun.

Newer park alongside a trail. Beautiful view. Half of park has rubber tire chunks and other half pebbles. Super cool and different play equipment. Lots of things to climb, slides, and swings. Perfect for little and big kids.

A great place to see the other side of Rib Mountain, play sports, enjoy the outdoors, have a family reunion (there was one going on there today). Has a multipurpose building, playground equipment, but best of all (for me) are the views of the trees changing colors and Rib in the background.

A very beautiful area for all types of people that enjoy the outdoors and sports.

If you've never been, swing by and check it out for yourselves.

Great trail system for a walk, run or bike ride through a beautiful setting.

The playground is a hit with my kids - lots to do for both the 5yo and 9yo.

Great place for kids of all ages. Nice wooded walking path and ball fields

My grandson and his friend had a play day there this morning. Their mothers both had other tasks to take care of. The boys had a great time and the weather couldn't have been better. Doepke recreation Area has a very nice and well maintained play area for children 1-5 along with nice walking paths.

Be sure to bring bug spray if you're walking through the woods! Other than that, it's a really nice trail to walk through. In the more swampy areas they have built wooden walkways to keep you elevated above the damp ground. All in all, a good place to take a nice walk through the woods.

Great place a lot of the work there is done by volunteers who do what they can when they have time. My son has his baseball games there, also a great play ground half of which is fenced in. There is also a fitness trail and a soccer field. In the winter the field is a hockey rink (outdoors). Also a building you can rent for weddings and such. Also has bathrooms that are unlocked during the day so you can use them all handicapped accessible.

The playground equipment is great. We especially enjoy our nature walks each time we visit down the very well kept trails (which are stroller friendly).

Beautiful park, well maintained with something for the whole family. There are 2 playgrounds one for elementary and up kids and one for toddlers, along with a jogging track that offers workout stations along the way for teens and adults.

Great fenced in area to let your kids run. Lots of fun for all the young kids.

Beautiful park for family fun!! Very clean and lots of space to run and play. Nice playground, bathrooms, soda machine, ball diamond, I've skating rink, etc.

Love taking my kids here .. they've even got a seperated area fenced off for younger kids which is really convenient when you've got a 4 year old and a crazy little 1 year old. Plus, the ball diamond is the best around for 12U kids.

Beautiful Park with trails and a large playground. The old tire pieces are fun to walk on. Nice shelter area of you're holding an event.

Great play area for kids and beautiful nature. The running path is well-maintained with exercise stations built in. Excellent park.

Took my grandson to the park. Lots of fun, well maintained equipment for the Littles. Nice clean park

We have grandchildren under the age of 3 and this is great for them. Very clean park and bathrooms.

Best park in Wausau area! Playground for all ages (1+ yrs). Bathrooms, nature trail, water fountains, exercise trail, 2 special needs swings
