Lake Pacawa Park — Attraction in Village of Plover

This place has beautiful scenery. The picnic and restroom facilities are in excellent condition. There is a nearby Korean War Memorial that is excellent. The lake is small and sping fed. This carries a higher risk of Swimmer's Itch if you don't shower after contact. However, it is very popular for swimming. There is a walking path around the perimeter of the area with a theme for the children's book "Where the Wid Things Are." Every hundred or so feet there is a sign with consequtive pages from the book displayed. You essentially read the story as you walk. The playground equipment is amazing. I have never seen so many pieces of disibility freindly equipment concentrated in one playground. Not only is there handicap equipment everywhere, but there are also structures designed for adult/child simultaneous use. The splash pad is excellent with at least ten different structures. The dock and kayak/canoe launch is handicap accessible with some unique equipment that I have never seen deployed at a public park. Lots of fun for families and anyone (big emphasis on anyone) can enjoy themselves...

Wonderful place! Took my children here last week. Wish I would have known about it sooner. Wonderful splash pad with lots of interactive water sprinkling toys. Really interactive playground area and swing/teeter totter/merry go round area. The whole splash pad and playground areas were super clean and nice looking. Bathrooms are nice and clean and well maintained. My only complaint is ALL the poop by the lake, which is obviously not the fault of the people who oversee the park. Not sure if it's geese doing it, or people's dogs. But if you do take your pet here, PLEASE pick up after your animal has gone. So much lining the sand right next to the lake my children couldn't leave the water without immediately stepping in some. So I advise staying away from the beach/lake area. But the rest of the park is pretty big, very clean and has a lot to offer. It's separated from the lake area so...

Wonderful and new walking paths, some crushed limestone but many paved and great for accessibility. Lake Pacawa has geese and bass and a small boat launch and large sandy beach and many grassy banks for family fun or secluded spots for fisherman or bird watchers. Recent editions include two large floating docks for fisherman and a large aquatic splash zone and playground with benches and landscaping. The lake shoreline was cleaned up and new walking paths were added. A smaller pond has several fountains and landscaping on the walking path that connects to the rest of the park. 2 pavilions and bathrooms and garbage on site. Many places to explore. Still, the veterans memorial commands the attention of visitors with its powerful statues and memorial, with places to sit on the island to view the park from the...
