This 35.4-acre Milwaukee County park is situated on the Menomonee River at the upstream end of the Menomonee Valley. It was once a quarry, then a landfill, and then a golf course. Now the former 9-hole course is being redeveloped again. Plans include restoration with prairie plants and a possible mountain bike trail. A footpath runs along the river.The Menomonee Line of the Oak Leaf Trail runs through the park and ends here with a road connection to the Hank Aaron State Trail. A network of soft trails meanders across the former golf course.
Amenities include a soccer field, basketball court, playground and porta potty.
