Irvine Park, Public park with zoo in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
Irvine Park is a 318-acre recreation area in Wisconsin featuring walking trails, a zoo with native animals, and outdoor facilities. The grounds offer extensive space for strolling, observing wildlife, and enjoying open land.
William Irvine established this park in 1906 by giving the land to Chippewa Falls along with a trust fund for its upkeep. This foundation ensured the grounds would be maintained for public enjoyment.
The grounds hold an old schoolhouse and log cabin where visitors can see how people lived in earlier times, offering a tangible connection to local heritage.
The park is located on Bridgewater Avenue and welcomes visitors free of charge throughout the year with options for cross-country skiing, hiking, and fishing. Plan your activities based on the season, as conditions change with weather.
Each winter the grounds transform into a Christmas Village displaying 75,000 lights and over 100 seasonal displays. This transformation draws visitors from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day and creates a festive setting.
