POST FARM PARK

This is the largest park in Shorewood Hills (8.7 acres), and is the most intensively used 'Receation Park'.

Post Farm Park was a historic farm that Shorewood Hills purchased in 1968.

In 1970, a swimming pool was built here (50-meter pool with deep diving area).  There is a seperate children's pool.

The Shorewood Hills Community Center stands adjacent to the pool and is used for meetings and other public or private events.

A sand volleyball court and lighted tennis courts are also found there (near the Centennial Garden).

2 acres of the park are designated as a Community Garden where residents can rent garden plots

		Spring of 2004: First prescribed burn in the Post Farm 'Natural Area'.  A Scout Shack stands near this 3 acre natural area
	Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) covered the forest floor in the spring of 2004 after a prescribed burn. This Wisconsin native spring perennial secretes a red liquid from a cut stem (hence the name bloodroot).		Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a native shrub-like plant that can be found throughout the natural area in Post Farm Park.
