There are multiple ares for kids to climb--a climbing wall, a climbing tree, ropes, monkey bars, etc. the swings are also inclusive for people of all abilities and there are 2 separate swingsets. I loved the slide structures as they provided shade on an exceptionally hot day. Things to make note of: no food or drinks are allowed in the playground. There are plenty of tables outside for you to eat, but they are not shaded so it could get particularly hot. Plan accordingly. There are bathrooms which is really nice.

The lake and beach access make it even better, and the trails and greenery add to the experience.

Sheridan Park lies completely along Lake Michigan, mainly in the City of Cudahy. I can't believe…read moreI've not reviewed Sheridan yet, as I spent my earliest childhood years nearby, and moved to Cudahy a few years ago, visiting Sheridan almost daily. My favorite things about Sheridan- -Oak Leaf Trail paved path runs through it, for biking, running, walking! -Pond for fishing is stocked w/rainbow trout (confirmed in 2021) Bass, perch, bluegill, koi/carp also can be found in the pond -Lake Views from high bluffs are outstanding, and sunset watching at Lunham/Bottsford Ave bend is popular -Walking paved trail down to Lake access -Picnic areas Sheridan also has a swimming pool with slides, bball courts, tennis courts, softball and hardball diamonds, a playground, a few reservable picnic areas, as well as plenty of land for your own pop-up. Sheridan Park is not as glamorous as other MKE County Parks, but it provides a lot of resources and opportunities to improve the lives of the local community, and that's a great strength!

It is absolutely enormous, there are multiple tennis courts, picnic areas, bridges (hence the alternate name "7 Bridges", trails, and much more. I remember first learning about this park while I was still in high school and running cross country races. This was our 4 race of the year, and the first where our race times dramatically dropped every season. Naturally, I grew very fond of this place. I have continued to visit and explore every inch of ground in the years since. Once again, 10/10 SUPPORT OUR LOCAL PARKS! pls

Franklin Woods' playground area has greatly improved since they put in Kayla's Playground- a…read morehandicap-friendly and large playground to suit many ages. This playground and nearby picnic area is much improved, and they've also doubled the size of the parking lot, which is nice, and the playground is really a popular attraction. I've been coming here to hike the woodland trail for years, and it's a nice secluded hike with one main trail and a short offshoot. It's dog friendly, and we like to hike it year-round. If hiking in the winter, wear boots, as the trail can get icy. It's a nice secluded trail that connects to the neighborhood nearby. The paved loop around the marsh is nice as well. I would like to see them bring back the interpretive nature sign by the woodland path that told you about the numbered trees in the trail. The signs that do remain look unused, and the one by the marsh is broken with a small beehive inside. Small improvements to the "nature center" part of this area would make it five stars.

This park has greatly improved from what it was just a few years ago. It started with a tiny…read moreparking lot and trails through the woods. Then a playground and walking track was added. Now there is a big parking area and a handicap accessible playground- but my favorite part is still the original woodsy trails. From spring through fall(not a fan of winter walking) I have walked these woods, watching the birth, life and death of so many cool plants and foliage. In spring there is an impressive Trillium bloom that can be seen from the road. The trails are good for walking dogs too, but please clean up after them! The walking trail is very flat so anyone of any age can enjoy it. I can't speak for the playground as I'm a bit too old to partake, but the swings were always fun ;)

My grands think the playground is the best in Milwaukee, and I have to say, it keeps them entertained for HOURS. I think the beach is the second best in town, my biggest gripes being the distance from parking (I'm handicapped) and its smallish size. That South Shore Terrace exists within the park is a wonderful bonus during its opening hours, and Saturday's farmers' market is always a treat.
