Park Review

Fritsch Park is Fox Crossing has so, so much to offer! From an amazing climbing structure, to adult fitness equipment (multitask!), to ping pong tables & bag toss (bring your own equipment), to tennis courts, to a lovely walking path, to a soccer field, to an ice rink & sledding hill in the winter, there is seriously something for everyone right here. If you have kids who love to climb, this is your playground! There are plenty of boulders and nets to climb for the bigger kids and smaller playground equipment for the littler adventurers. Also, keep your eyes peeled to sign up for all of the super fun park and recreation events that the Village of Fox Crossing hosts each year at Fritsch Park like Trick or Treat Trail, Sweetheart Skate, or Brews with the Bunny (yes, this event is family-friendly, too)!
