Park Rules for All Greenville Parks

Winter Park Activities

Within the boundaries of the Town are three parks – Community Park, Jennerjohn Park and the Lions Park.

Community Park

Community Park is located at the intersection of Highway 45 and 76. It is approximately 15 acres in size. It is a constant hub of activity in the summertime. The park was built and furnished by the service clubs and donated to the Town. There are kitchen facilities in a large shelter building, tennis courts, basketball courts and play equipment. This park is great for larger gatherings but will accommodate small ones also.

The park has four ball diamonds, one of which has lights. On a summer evening, the park is full of activity as over 500 youths participate in the Greenville Youth Sports program. GYS provides for tee ball, girls softball, little league, pony ball and a junior Babe Ruth team.

Rent: Both the east (open side) and west side (enclosed side) of the pavilion are rented out with the kitchen situated in the center of the sides. Just one side can be rented for $50 or both sides for $100 and the parties share the kitchen facilities. Town Residents can begin booking rentals on September 1st for the following summer. Rentals are open to the general public beginning January 2. Call the Town Hall for bookings.

Jennerjohn Park

Jennerjohn Park consists of 23 acres of land and is located off of Rickey Lane with access from Parkview and Ridgeway Drive. Jennerjohn is more of a "family oriented park" with a small shelter facility with kitchen facilities. This is ideal for smaller groups. There is a baseball diamond, volleyball court (bring your own net), and play equipment available. During the winter months, ice skating and sledding are popular in the park.

Rent: Rent for the park is $50. Reservations for the following summer can be made starting on September 1 for Town residents and January 2 for the general public. Call the Town Hall for bookings.

Greenville Lions Park

In 1996 the Greenville Lions Club purchased 58 acres of land and donated it to the Town of Greenville. It will be developed into a family recreation area featuring a Wisconsin agricultural theme. A unique combination of natural wildlife areas, sports fields, educational centers, picnic and play areas, an amphitheater and much more will set the stage for season after season of learning, fitness, exploration and fun for visitors of all ages. There is a seven acre woods and a marsh pond and prairie restoration area. In a few years, this area will be loaded with many kinds of prairie plants (52 types of seed have been planted from 0 - 10 feet tall).  There are at least 14 different types of wildflowers growing along the trail.  The park is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Highways 45 and 96.

This park has changed by the week over the years thanks to the Lions Club. The Army Reserve "Charlie Company" has worked with the Lions and have committed to excavation work in the park every other weekend for a number of years.  They have cut in roads, and a excavated a pond. In late 2001 an amphitheatre was constructed by "Charlie Company".  It made its debut on June 21, 2003 when the Lions Club presented the musical group the "BoDeans".  Over 7,000 people attended this concert.   In 2004 the band Lynyrd Skynyrd made it's appearance and in 2005 Montgomery Gentry performed.  

In 1998 play equipment, a learning circle, hiking trail and a shelter building were installed. The park was officially dedicated during the 1998 sesquicentennial celebration with the unveiling of a sign "Schueler’s Woods".

In 2000 a shelter building was constructed for small groups.  This shelter was not rented out initially due to the continuing work being done by the Army Reserve.  The building is being rented out on selected weekends when the Army is not working there.  There is a higher rental fee charged for this shelter along with a contract.  Fees currently for this large shelter are $500 for the pavilion, $250 for the kitchen and a $100 deposit.  Rental of this facility must be approved by the Park Commission.  Additional fees may be due depending on the type of event.

Winter Park Activities

A sledding hill is available at Jennerjohn Park and is a very popular destination on a snow day.  Jennerjohn Park is also  good place to do some cross country skiing.  We don't have any marked trails there but you are welcome to ski at your pleasure.  We also have a marked cross country ski trail available at Lions Park.  The trail loops around the prairie, winds through the woods and runs down the amphitheater and back. Lions Park is also a nice place to take a walk and observe nature on a pleasant winter afternoon.  If you're looking for some ice skating, we set up a small ice rink at Community Park underneath the pavilion.  This activity depends heavily on the weather.  The rink is open and lit from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m.

Snowmobiling is NOT permitted in any park or on any trail.
