Elm Grove Village Park

The park is very good. Although it is not very big, like state parks, it offers many things to people who go there. For example, there is a pond, where ducks and geese often come to visit. Sometimes, there are goslings by the side of the pond, and ducklings swimming after the adult ducks. There is a nice sidewalk path which goes throughout the park, and it goes around the pond, and around a hill. There is a swimming pool there, although we have never been there. There is the option to go fishing, although it is catch and release unless you are 12 or under. If you are 12 or under, you get to take 3 fish home per day. There is even a ledge onto the pond to provide easier access to deeper waters for fishing. In the winter-time, the steep hill provides a great sledding hill for older kids. The hill has some plants sticking out of the snow, and it may be slippery for young kids to climb up the hill. If you walk around the park in any season, the park will provide many experiences for people of all ages. Overall, it was a great park.

We love Elm Grove Park. We come here all the time in the summer and the kids love it. My little one loves the playground and huge sand area and my big ones love the pond and catching frogs/fish. It definitely gets busy on summer nights with all the soccer/baseball games, but it’s nice to see so many people out and active. We also really enjoy their beer garden on weekends and “Tuesday tunes” in the evenings. The park creates such a nice sense of community for those of us who live in Elm Grove, we love it!

Im a 24 year old asian female. I came to the park simply so I could go for a run. It was January 5, 2024 3pm. Ive come to this park many times before and had no problems. This white lady with a kid mind you parks next to me. I was already parked before her. I get out and walk to the pavement to start my run. When I decide to go back to the car, coincidentally this lady decided to go back to her car too but she started acting like her life and her kids life was in danger. Like I was coming after them. Quickly getting her child into the car and leaving the wrong direction out of the parking lot to get away from me as fast as she could. I never realized how racist Brookfield was until today. How dramatic and absolutely ridiculous this kind of attitude is and think about what that child is being taught to view people. Wow. So if you're any other race than white, be mindful this is how you will be treated if you come to this park.
