Mead Park is a park in Appleton. The playground looks pretty small. There are picnic tables but not a shelter. There is also a sand volleyball court. No bathrooms though!
EXCEPT: at the pool! This park is also home to an outdoor pool, complete with diving boards, water slide, and splash pad.
The park itself is free, but there is a fee for the pool.

Monkey Joe's
We visited Monkey Joe's inflatable play place for a fun way to burn off some energy on a below-zero winter's day. I had looked into the Appleton location, so I was pretty excited to see how it was in person.
I remembered seeing they had a parent's lounge, which I did not really find at the Waukesha location. There were plenty of tables to claim for our stuff, and there are massage chairs stationed throughout, but you do have to pay to operate them.
The kids had a blast, of course! The littlest one (3yo) got the best deal because he was little enough to go into the toddler inflatable (which they ALL wanted to do) and was big enough to make it through the big kid ones. The favorites were definitely the slides.
There was also an arcade area. The kids wandered over every so often and enjoyed looking at the games, but we didn't spend any money playing them. We also avoided the snack bar.
The place seemed very clean, including the bathrooms. I did notice there didn't seem to be any good spot for nursing mothers.
