Confirmed from Frame Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
City park on the Fox River offering a playground, picnic tables, a volleyball court, and bike trails.
What runners say about Frame Park
“It’s always clean, the river running through it is a great touch, and the trails are perfect for an easy walk.”
“Large, beautiful park with accommodations for just about anyone.”
One of our favorite places in Waukesha. The kids love the playground and then you have the water and ducks to see. Take a walk around frame park on a beautiful sunny day.
Frame Park is a beautiful park to visit…. We have been frequently visiting Frame Park w/our granddaughters since they were little…. The playground is perfect for little ones…. Taking a stroll of the park is amazing along the Fox River…. Also, riding bikes on the trail is great exercise…
Large, beautiful park with accommodations for just about anyone. Come walk, run, or bike here and you won't be disappointed
Very clean park! Multiple restrooms available. Lots of different playgrounds! Nice walking paths that are separated for pedestrians vs bicycles. 🚴 There is a rental place for bikes and kayaks and paddle boats! Lots of benches and places to sit! There is tons of parking available.
