Confirmed from Fritsch 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.
Large grassy park featuring sledding hills for winter sports, plus basketball and tennis courts.
What runners say about Fritsch Park
“The events they put on rock, the park is clean and there is SO much to do.”
Amazing park with a trail in and around it, a nice playground and a little bodyweight gym!! They have cement cornhole boards and a cement ping pong table. They also have a soccer field, tennis court, and basketball hoop. In the winter the hill becomes a sledding hill and they put in a little skating rink.
This park is very nice, located in Menasha very close to multiple apartment complexes as well as a vast residential area. Nice park equipment, lots of fun for children I would imagine. Hill located on site that I believe is a small sled hill in the winter. Large field located here as well.
Nice place to relax, enjoy some fresh air and open spaces. Not pictured here is a walking trail, soccer fields, and courts. I like that this park includes a workout area for adults. Would definitely come back.
We went for the trick or treat trail and had a great time, minus the weather. I was impressed at the organization and how smooth everything went. The playground equipment looked fun and right across from that they have a full circuit workout area facing the playground.
