April first might be a Fool’s Day, but it’s also an excellent day on the Glacial Drumlin Trail biking calendar. This is the day that Fish Park, along with its restrooms, reopens for the season.

I am grateful for this because it means my riding range is increased.

If you look at a map of the Glacial Drumlin Trail, you will see no mention of Fish Park just west of Waukesha. That’s because it is officially called Sunset Park.

In the photo above, you see the playground. What’s harder to see is that the big yellow part of the playground equipment is in the shape of a fish. When our kids were young they new it as Fish Park.

We could put trailers on the back of the bikes and say we’re going to Fish Park. They new exactly what we meant. It was years before I even bothered to learn the real name.

Regardless of what playground equipment is there now or in the future, it will always be Fish Park to me.
