Details

Located along the banks of the Waukarusha River, Point Rock Park gets its name from the large rock at the point/entrance of the park. It is a 25 acre city park that is fully shaded and provides a great place for a picnic, Frisbee golf, hiking, fishing, and more. The Park also has rest rooms, shelter houses and an assortment of newly upgraded playground equipment that is handicap-accessible.   It boasts a variety of walking trails one of which leads to the historic Oak Hill Cemetery that has graves dating back to the Revolutionary War.  

To all of our friends, visitors, and communities, we wish you all a wonderful, safe, and happy 2025. We hope to see you as you travel our highways and back roads.
