Franklin Wirth Park, centrally located in Brookfield, is considered by many residents as
“my most favorite place to be” in the City. The 135± acre site was acquired in 1961 and
named after the first and long time Mayor of the City.
The park is comprised of approximately 96 acres of upland suitable for active park
facility development, and the remaining acreage encompasses a variety of wetland,
woodland and surface water resources within the Underwood Creek primary
environmental corridor.
Wirth Park is a fully developed community park with a community-wide service area
providing a variety of natural resource and non-resource oriented facilities and is the
premier park for the City of Brookfield offering residents a diverse array of active and
passive outdoor recreational opportunities. The park facilities are utilized by the
community on a daily basis with well over 100,000 visitations annually.
