Hoyt Park has a big shelter with electricity and a bathroom. There is also a playground, trails, spots for baseball/basketball, and a big firepit area. We'll have kids activities with us, and the shelter has picnic tables, but feel free to bring a lawn chair if you want something else! (but not necessary) The park is also alcohol friendly, because Wisconsin! No glass bottles though, please!
