Riverside Park's Iconic Rocket Playground: A Symbol of Neenah's Community Spirit

Riverside Park in Neenah, Wisconsin, has been a hub for community events and fun for decades. Now, it's home to a unique rocket-themed math playground, a popular attraction for local families.

The park's history includes hosting events like Community Fest, the Fox Cities Marathon, and performances by the Riverside Players. But it's the rocket-themed math playground that has become a standout feature. The original rocket-shaped play structure was built in 1966 and replaced in 2007. Today, the park offers a track ride, rock-climbing wall, sand digger, and other imaginative play opportunities, all centered around the iconic rocket theme.

The park is rated for ages 5-12, but younger children can still enjoy smaller slides with assistance. While it has limited inclusive features, it's a beloved spot for families. Nearby, within a half-mile, you'll find restaurants like Broken Tree Pizza, Hong Kong Buffet, and Bona Fide Juicery, offering plenty of dining options.

The rocket-themed math playground at Riverside Park is more than just a play area; it's a symbol of Neenah's community spirit and a testament to the park's rich history of hosting events and providing fun for all ages.
