This park has a nice view of the river, large open shelter with plenty of picnic tables, clean and spacious restrooms, and a small playground. Its an easy walk to a local coffee shop as well.

The pavilion is an excellent spot to host a party or event. There is a playground, basketball area, enough parking spaces, and a great place for kayak and paddleboarding.

Grafton has done amazing job on this park. One the oldest parks steeped in history but revamped and kept up. Prime spot on the Milwaukee River, walking paths, lots of seating. Lots of events throughout the summer months make it a destination spot. Nice playground but could use a bit of updating with the swings. One of the best Kayaks/boat launches I’ve seen make exploring the river easy and fun! Only gripe is the road and parking need to be completely redone, hopefully on their agenda for 2020!

A great place to enjoy a stroll down the Milwaukee River. I always see people fishing and enjoying their outdoor activities here!

This park is a prize for the fact that it is such a cool location and right on the river. However, the park is in terrible condition. Weeds everywhere, bare ground, huge logs stuck along the shoreline. They just invested a lot of money on new paths and lighting but dont keep it looking nice. They also should invest in a real bandshell or amphitheater like all of the neighboring communities are doing.

Veterans park is very nice. Nice playground for the kids and a very nice memorial basketball court. Also right on the river so the setting is very serene.

The new walkway is nice, but the playground needs updating with more swings, and theres litter everywhere because there are no trash cans along the walkway.Edit: 10 months later and STILL no trash cans. Litter left on grass and benches.

We went here for the food truck tour. Theres a lot of kids, but theres enough room to find a place to be in your own. There are not a lot of benches or places to sit however, when theres something like the food truck tour.

Lovely park. I went to the Farmers market here. It was very small, but this park is very close to area eateries and forget coffee shops.

For long-time Grafton residents like me this will always be Mill Pond Park. Theyve made lovely improvements such as a river walk, beautiful street lights, a nice basketball court and expanded playground for kids. This is a beautiful park to have a picnic in or listen to music on summer Thursday nights.

Formerly known as Mill Pond Park, this peaceful slice of Grafton is the perfect spot for a picnic, host of free concerts, and a great location to take a walk, go fishing or launch a canoe or kayak.

Id give it 5 Stars if they could somehow eliminate the goose skat. The sport court basketball surface is the best around as it has some wind and sun block.
