Hillcrest Park, Waukesha

- Waukesha
Hillcrest Park combines an elevated Waukesha landscape with visible reminders of a former Cold War missile-defense site.
Surviving control-site structures give this public green space an unusual local history.
The photograph shows actual remnants within the park. View them from permitted ground-level routes and follow current city notices for access and maintenance. Do not enter or climb former military structures. Proposed future recreation facilities in city planning documents should not be treated as completed amenities. Choose a route suited to the terrain, respect neighboring properties and avoid any areas marked as closed.
