This MKE REC spot has nice facilities for pop-ups, something I discovered today when attending the yearly Milwaukee Vegan Holiday Pop-up at this new location for the event. I also liked that there was a meeting room where food vendors were located and a next door meeting room for dining in community. read more

This place held the vegan winter market this year and it was such a good time! In the gym, there was soap and chocolate confections and cookies and decor and jewelry. In another area, they had all the hot food. It was just a great place to have the market. I've also seen advertisement for other events like yoga. It sounds like so much fun. read more

There's a lot going on here, the park outside is well used there's baseball, softball, and a dog run. Inside there's storybook reading, yoga, volleyball, pickleball (of course), and lots of other stuff going on. I love to see public community facilities well used like this. Don't be put off by how old it looks, the people who work here are great, and there are so many affordable and interesting classes offered here. read more

Beulah Brinton Community Center - Recreation Centers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This Community Center and the classes and programs it hosts is one of the best things about living in Bayview! The Milwaukee Recreation Department offers a plethora of classes nearly year round (there is a brief break around the December holidays). One day classes in xxxxx or xxxx will give you an overview. Fitness classes like pilates and yoga are pretty great too. The instructors are all certified and many teach at private clubs and schools. Each one that I've encountered has been super enthusiastic about teaching their craft. At approximately $3 per one hour they are a great deal! But the real hidden gems in the course listings (milwaukeerecreation.net) are the cooking classes. Most of them are one night for three hours, a few are two nights for a couple of hours. Depending on the subject prices are $10-$30 per class. I recently took the Lacto-Fermentation class at the recommendation of a friend that took the same class earlier this summer. The instructor, Christina Ward, is a Master Preserver, which means the State says she really knows her stuff. And indeed, she does. Our project for the evening was to make large batches of kimchi and sauerkraut and learn enough to take it home and finish the process. Mission accomplished. Earlier this week both batches were finished and I have large jars of both in the fridge. Pretty cool to me able to say I made it myself. I can't wait to take more classes this fall, and hopefully I will see some of you there! read more

I like it! My daughter has been stuck with me everyday for the past 17 months since she was born, and quite frankly I think she's getting sick of my fascination with pro wrestling and my undying need to go to various bakeries and custard stands. So instead of boring her anymore, I signed her up for toddler play group here, and it's worth every dollar. The best part is it costs next to nothing. It was a very loose playgroup, the kids got to play around with toys and art supplies everywhere for the first 45 minutes, then for the last 15 they had story time and we got to sing some crazy song about cleaning ourselves. Guess what song I'll be singing in the shower tomorrow! I saw a ton of the geriatric crowd here eating lunch and playing volleyball. I might have to come back and go for the kill Top Gun style until I work up an appetite for mock chicken legs. Word. read more

It's not the most up to date place. But it's a Bay View gem. They offer a lot of classes, which you can find on milwaukeerecreation.net. Cooking, Zumba, yoga, you name it. The classes are a bargain. Come on Bay Viewers! There's something for everyone here. read more

It's not the most modern of places and getting there can be a bit of an adventure if you're very familiar with the area, but this place is a spectacular neighborhood gem. I was recently here for a canning class through the Milwaukee Rec Department -(having also taken one of these classes at Riverside HS in June, I highly recommend Brinton ..). There were volleyball, yoga and kids classes happening at the same time. It's a true community center throwback, with something for everyone. A nice front desk for information and help and tons of multi-purpose rooms and gym space. read more

I've been coming here for 30+ years and continue with yoga twice weekly. The yoga instructors are fantastic and it's a great place for team sports like volleyball and such. Unfortunately, the yoga studio leaves much to be desired - it's packed with band equipment, the climate control is wonky, and the floor is filthy. I'd definitely pay more if they'd clean it up a bit. Right now, it's my studio of choice because of the instructors, convenient class times, good location, and diversity among the other participants. read more

I absolutely love taking yoga classes through Milwaukee Recreation here. It might not be the fanciest yoga studio, but the instructor is amazing, and she puts a lot of effort into making our weekly class an amazing workout, relaxing, and restorative. Plus you cannot beat the cost. Parking is never a problem and it's in a great location. read more

While searching for basketball classes for my daughter( at the time she was 7) I found this place and for the past 2yrs I have been signing up my kids for classes here through the mps recreation website. They offer a ton of classes for younger kids (usually 10 and under)like basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball and tae kwon do and they probably have others that I don't know about. They also offer a middle school basketball league which my son played in for the first time last year and although he was nervous the coaches were really great and he loved it so much I signed him up for it this year!! Now that's just the kids stuff they also offer a TON of classes for adults like yoga, a cardio class, body sculpting class, cardio kickboxing, Pilates and other types of fitness classes. They also offer some cooking classes and different music classes ( guitar, drums, piano). This is only a few classes that I mentioned they really have a wide range of activities for kids and adults so I highly recommend anyone to check this place out! read more
