Appleton Memorial Park — Attraction in Appleton

Was impressed with the fact that they had a handicapped "Port-A-John" (I have to use a walker) and a couple of hand washing stations. They could benefit from doing better with signing and planning for those that are disabled. I think that I was 1 of 2 people that was disabled enough that we depended on various aids to help with mobility (aids being walkers, wheelchairs, canes, scooters, etc.). THERE NEEDS TO BE SIGNAGE SHOWING WHERE THERE IS PARKING FOR HANDICAPPED/DISABLED PEOPLE ATTENDING THE EVENT (WE WERE THERE FOR THE 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION). THIS (PARKING) NEEDS TO BE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE PAVED PATHS OR WHATEVER THEY USE FOR PATHS THAT PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY AIDS CAN NAVIGATE (GRASS DOESN'T USUALLY WORK WELL).

i visit this park several times a year. this is my kids' favorite park in Appleton. big park with playground, pond, hill, and flower garden on the south half, and baseball diamonds on the north half. the pond is stocked annually with rainbow trout and they are fun to catch despite their small size, and there are plenty of other small panfish to be caught from the little fishing dock as well. my kids love flying kites on top of the hill in the summer, and sledding in the winter. i give 4 stars because the playground keeps getting torn down and rebuilt, they're all great but each time slightly less fun than the one before, so i wouldnt be surprised if the current one gets replaced in just a couple...
