Ready for the Beach? They Open Saturday

Waukesha County's six beaches open June 4, including Fox Brook Park off Barker Road in Brookfield.

 

It may hit the 80s on Memorial Day but you'll have to wait until Saturday to get a tan or splash in the water at Waukesha County's six public beaches.

The beaches, including Fox Brook Park on Barker Road in Brookfield, open for the summer on Sat. June 4.

Fox Brook has the largest lake of the six — 25 acres — with a beach house, diving dock, concession stand and pedal boat rentals.

Are they going to need a police command center like at Bradford?

If they have one it will be because the police calls that originate from that location warrant it. That area was a great place for families on the weekend 25 years ago...now it is a who's who of gang-banger and disorderly conduct arrests (not my opinion - actual arrests made and tickets written). Another "fun" summer at Bradford at night...not.
