Meet the Trees
It takes a special tree to make it into our climbing programs. We spend a lot of time in these trees & get to know them quite well!
Each tree has its own personality and character, providing an assortment of experiences for climbers. In addition, each park or area that the tree is growing in also adds to the climber's experience.

Woodfield Oak
Species: bur oak, Quercus macrocarpa
Location: Woodfield Park (Waukesha)
Measurements: height 65', crown spread 85', dbh XX" (compare to the largest trees in the state)
This magnificent tree grew on an estate in the City of Waukesha, likely for more than 200 years! With the passing of the property owners, the tree and surrounding land was donated to the City.
Its massive branches swoop to the ground, inviting people to walk up and give it a hug! The embracing limbs and cooling shade provide the perfect setting to sit beneath for a picnic, take a nap, or read a book.
Each year I introduce people during our Club Climbs, an occasional Rec Climb, some Private Climbs, and most of my Learn-to-Climb classes. It is the tree I use most often for my exclusive aerial yoga classes. I have spent countless hours sitting in the branches and at its base.
I visit this tree regularly throughout the year as it has become a dear friend. I continue to find inspiration and motivation from my time with this tree.
*Available for Private Climbs - The branches allow for numerous climbing routes. Climbing routes can range from 15 to 45', some taking climbers past branches perfect for sitting, standing and swinging from. The tree stands in a remote section of the park, with no amenities available. Off-street parking is available. Gas stations are located within 1/2 mile.
