It's always great for the mind, body, and soul to find new ground to wander, new paths to tread. (OK, that sounded a little hippie-zen-ish, but it's true). In the last month or so, Jacobus Park in Wauwatosa (accessible in the area of 62nd and Wells) has become a favorite haunt for me. I recently went with camera at the ready and snapped some photos of some favorite features.
On 62nd Street, a staircase greets visitors. There's another staircase down immediately after this one, so it's a good start to a workout
Speaking of staircases, there are many in Jacobus Park, some straight up or down, some winding.
Picnic area/indoor meeting place
Pond beyond the meeting hall
Out of the woods and into the sun
Up the staircase, or to the left?
This time, the staircase leads out. Jacobus Park is a short walk from Wisconsin Avenue or Wells Street, and it might be good to follow the workout with coffee or some breakfast at Alterra on 68th and Wells.
So long for now!

There was a time when we sledded down the hill near the 66th street entrance and ice skated on the pond. I celebrated the end of my sophomore year at Marquette flying a kite in Jacobus Park. The park is home to lifetimes of memories. Enjoy. mkw
