Shopko Optical Playground

If you’re passing through the Green Bay area on I-41, this spot is worth the detour — free parking, open space, and actually clean equipment that doesn’t look like it’s been neglected for a decade. The soccer field and open grass give older kids room to burn off energy while the little ones (think 2 to 9) tackle the play structures. That walking path is a nice touch if you’ve been stuck in a car for two hours and just need to move your legs. Locals know it, but it doesn’t feel overcrowded, which says a lot for Ashwaubenon on a decent weather day.
