I'm a sucker for nature and Kletzsch park left me feeling no less awe. I've hiked around this area…read moremore than a few times since moving to Milwaukee forever ago. Kletzsch is particularly stunning as it has a large damn that many people fish in. It's also a great launching point for kayak's and canoes to head up or down the Milwaukee River. We enjoy walking the pooch and pushing through the woods down over near the massive spans of park in that area. Either way it's just a serene and casual walk where you can hear the sound of rushing water. This section of the Milwaukee river is quite high right now. It's amazing to note the changes in land mass that the river engulfs in comparison to drier times. I've even ventured out below the railroad tracks that pass over the river just down from the damn a ways. Nature at it's best on the outskirts of the great city I call home, Milwaukee!

Had to use my imagination, but the area seemed like a great Park. Everything still looked beautiful…read morecovered in a foot of snow. I did learn that if you're a young girl alone asking your Lyft driver to leave you at the park when it's covered in snow it will draw red flags and you'll have the cops looking for you. Mainly wondering why you're wandering the park completely alone. Lol Made for good memories and should that Wisconsin people are very nice and caring compared to other places. Hopefully I'll get to come back to this Park when it's not completely covered in snow and I can freely explore.

You will also see huge P@H trucks on display. Also, the Komatsu offices look like a ship when you look through the windows. The whole area is pretty cool.

This is a great addition to the budding Harbor District, next to UWM's Freshwater Sciences building. A few bike lock stations and a bubbler and a bottle fill station make it a nice pit stop on a ride. Iron gates with art, open up to a seasonal kayak launch. Perhaps a straight shot kayak launch with less obstacles and right angles is needed here. I was in the area picking up a DIY fall river cleanup kit from Milwaukee Riverkeeper, who would probably appreciate a helping hand with occasional debris, if you spot it. It takes all of us, sometimes. There's nice signage of individual and corporate sponsors, who helped make this plaza a reality, and help keep making Milwaukee a great place on a Great Lake.

Fishing the Lake all along the park is popular, too. Several benches and a long stretch of park give great views of Downtown Milwaukee, and the park stretches to include another patch of greenery, which also includes UW-Extension Community Gardens. Part of the Oak Leaf Trail, you can bike/hike/run on through. A-okay smaller MKE Park that could.

Klode Park has long since been a great green space with solid lake views, but it's recent…read moreplayground update makes it a five-star experience. We made our most recent visit during their annual 4th of July festival which is always a great time. They have a whole bunch of local food vendors, a few bars set up around the park, little activities for the kids, plenty of seating, and live music all day. So great! While here our kids of course wanted to make the trek across the park to the playground they saw in the distance. And boy were we so pleasantly surprised at the brand new set up! Previously, it was rickety, wooden and old. Now they're set up has the squishy flooring and all new play-spaces, slides, and swings. To kids, they might not care much either way, but to parents, it's a luxury to have a playground that's update because it means it's safer. In any case, we'll certainly return for this, if not the beautiful beach area too.

I have been going to Klode for over 20 years, and it's still one of my favorite places to go…read more Tennis courts (now also used for Pickle Ball), indoor bathrooms (women's has an infant changing station), picnic tables and benches, two playground areas, large sandbox, wide open grassy area, and easy access to the beach make this a great place to take kids of all ages. It's also within reasonable walking distance to Winkies, Brueggers, and Sendiks. Klode is a staple of the community and worth becoming a part of your family traditions!

This is a tiny little park at the end of the Root River parkway in Greenfield. It is quiet and…read moreperfect if you're looking for someplace to escape and relax or read a book. It has a small playground and a couple of picnic tables, but that's about it. So, why the four stars? It faces a huge grassy area that is pretty nice for watching wildlife, whether you're looking at swallows swooping up and down after mosquitoes, or deer grazing in the tall grass. On one end of the park,the lawn gives way to trees and shrubs. Behind the playground is a bit of lawn, and more trees. Behind the trees starts a fairly quiet neighborhood that I bet many people don't know exists. On the other end of the park is Meadow Drive and, across the street, is the home of Bill Radler, breeder of the Knock Out rose! His yard is beautiful to look at as you sit in the parking lot of the park... 32/2018

The Ozaukee county mountain bike group keeps the public up to date on their face book page for trail work and group rides. They have also hosted mountain bike classes at this location. The beginner loop has easy grass and dirt trails to maneuver with few rocks. The intermediate has both hills, rock features and wood to ride over. The advanced loop has berms, bridges, rock features, hills and difficult features have alternates if they aren't for you. The best part about this park is that each loop has easy off access so you can do one or two.. Or all. This park is also home to snow biking in winter, snow showing and hiking trails year round! The hiking trail hosts a large pond and a wooden plank walk with a observation tower overlooking the park from a hill. The fee is free and there is bathroom facilities and a pavilion to park yourself for a lunch after a long ride. Once you master this park then your ready for green bush or any other challenge that faces you! Ride on!!!

It was a quiet spot and a decent beach. Couple issues the parking at the top of the hill is only 1 hour so we had to park a street over. Also there is a lot of horseflies so that kind of sucks and the beach is super rocky so not the most fun to walk. Overall if you just want to read and lay out this is the prefect place but maybe bring a fly swatter.

There are interesting…read morestone foundations and walls on the east end of the park that just beg for an explanation, including one circle that begs for rituals. When I visit with my nephews and niece, we imagine Druids feeling at home. Of course, in pleasant weather we have actually seen folks LARPing in medieval gear as if to prove us right. The splash pad is silent in fall and winter, but the playground remains active on sunny days. Off street parking is ample and soccer games are fun to watch, even if you don't have skin in the game for either side. Maybe Gordon Park isn't a big one or a famous one in the County's excellent park system, but it is so accessible -- you can just tumble out into Riverwest and Harambee neighborhoods from there.
