About Root Common Park

This small three-cornered green area in Wauwatosa offers seating and play-oriented items such as a xylophone and a chalkboard. A compact stage supports community concerts and events, and a digital kiosk shows local event listings. Next to the green is a World War I memorial that honors Wauwatosa veterans. The park is close to the Village of Wauwatosa, where shopping and dining are nearby. The space can be rented for a fee, and some small events and concerts have been held there.
