FRIENDS OF OCONOMOWOC PARKS & TRAILS PROJECTS
Imagine a place your dogs can run free and frolic like they are in the Land of Oz right here in Oconomowoc! That's right...we're planning a DOG PARK...in Oconomowoc! Toto's Territory will be located just east of Imagination Station at Roosevelt Park. The 16-acre park is designed to include separate off-leash areas for small and large breeds, walking paths and drinking water stations.

Lake Country Pickleball Club
The "Friends" partnered with Lake Country Pickleball Club to build a 20 court world-class, tournament-ready, dedicated pickleball facility at Northeast Park on Hwy P and Hwy K (right behind Meadowview School).

The goal is to raise $400,000. All donations are tax-deductible.

Oconomowoc Skatepark
The Oconomowoc skatepark is a one-of-a-kind experience for skaters, scooters, bicyclists, and wheels of all kinds. It is a 10,000-square-foot area that includes lighting, a pavilion, seating area, in addition to the skate park. It is located in the "old" shelter area of Roosevelt Park. Like many residents, the Friends provided a donation, and together the community made this park a possibility.
