The Waukesha County Park System

The Waukesha County Park System is made up of 10 parks, a nature center, and an indoor ice arena. The park system offers plenty of opportunities for adventurers of all ages and interests all year long. There’s swimming, fishing, golf, geocaching, hunting, hiking, boating, and biking. There are opportunities to volunteer and to work on conservation efforts around Waukesha County wetlands, birds, reptiles, and more. Dog lovers and their canine friends can enjoy more than 70 acres of fully fenced dog exercise areas throughout the park system, as well as two designated dog swimming areas.

Waukesha Sportscards

With three locations in Waukesha County, collectors of sports memorabilia are in for a treat with Waukesha Sportscards. A premier sports memorabilia shop that’s been in business for almost 40 years, Waukesha Sportscards regularly hosts signing and autograph events with former and current sports superstars — especially Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers players. For fans of sports cards, pennants, jerseys, bobbleheads, framed autographs, and the like, Waukesha Sportscards is a true treasure.

The Waukesha County Fair

Held every July, the Waukesha County Fair is the oldest county fair in Wisconsin.

The Waukesha Farmers Market

Running from the first Saturday in May through the last Saturday in October, the Waukesha Farmers Market features produce, meats, eggs, cheese, baked goods, fresh-cut flowers — you name it — from local growers and purveyors. Open from 8 am to noon every Saturday, regardless of the weather, it’s become a regular meeting place for Wisconsinites interested in the state’s local flavors.
