Very nice multi-use Milwaukee County Park! I came here for a run, and it fit the bill on a nice…read morepaved path and also on the mowed grass trail. The area is perfect for a run, walk, hike with pup, or for an extended bike ride on the trail, heading north of Puetz Road. If you enter via 51st, there's a large parking lot closer to the nice newer kid's playground (not to be confused with the handicap accessible Kayla's Playground, nearby at Franklin Woods). There's also a small covered picnic area, bathrooms, and a frisbee golf course. The frisbee golf course just got paved "tee off areas", and I saw volunteers tending to them, and a few "golfers" out on a recent warm day. You can also access from the Milwaukee County Sports Complex. Froemming Park is top notch, and a nice example of adapting park use for local residents.

Great park with some of the best views in Milwaukee! You can see St. Mary's and the Water Tower…read morestraight east down North Avenue, and the southern view of Downtown is not to be missed. We like grabbing carryout dinner nearby, bringing it up the big stairs, and hopefully get a bench. We've seen a few picnickers up here, but not many- this park is aptly adored by those in the know, without being as popular as it deserves to be. There are some kid playground areas, a basketball hoop (it deserves a few more of those, honestly), there's a great walking loop, running up the stairs, and wildlife (we heard and saw a redtailed hawk recently), and lots of green space! I think the bottom of the hill to the north deserves a bandshell, as the slope up the hill would make a perfect "Chill on the Hill 2" space for music and neighborhood gatherings. Top notch views with lots of park potential.

Milwaukee already has some seriously stunning views scattered throughout the city. My first…read moreexperience of seeing the city in all its glory though was the view from the Edelweiss sunset cruise. Just when you think you've seen MKE at its finest along comes another breathtaking spot to view the place from. The latest spot has one the most spectacular views I've experienced to date. You can see all of downtown and even as far out as Lake Michigan when it's clear. The place is Kilbourn Park! Reading fellow Yelpers reviews I am floored that this was once a closed off area and you couldn't even get around up top to experience it. Either way it is what it is now a beautiful park for all to enjoy! It is what I would call the edge of Riverwest proper. If you look back to the North you will see the tallest site in Riverwest, Our Lady Divine Providence church, with its stunning green roof standing there all alone in all its glory. Love walking through this city and taking all the sites in!

Enderis Park is a park, and also a neighborhood! This little park is nice, and an important…read moregathering place and oasis for the community. We walk here often on weekend mornings, and enjoy a walk through the park, and a sit under the Magic Grove sculpture, by artist Nancy Metz White. There is a small playground here, a field house, and remnants of a time when parks were thriving. The Farmer's Market here is small, but nice. This is a nice neighborhood and a nice little park.

Cool little park and recreation facility in the heart of Milwaukee. I live right near the Enderis…read morePark neighborhood, which features tree-lined streets and mid-century homes with a more "neighborly" feel than my own 'hood. I've played kickball here in the past and the diamond is one of the nicer ones in the city. This park is a nice selling point if you are looking for a fun gathering space with plenty of activities for the kiddos. There is a lot of wide open green space, a community gathering center, clean restrooms, a playfield for softball/kickball, and they even manage to have a few concerts in the summer months!

This is just one of the many small neighborhood parks in Milwaukee. In between 86th and 88th…read morestreets just to the South of Oklahoma Avenue. Tucked in between houses and apartments. It is about 7 acres of green space, a children's play area with a few swings and slides, a basketball court with one basket and a few picnic tables and benches scattered around the park. There is a walking (asphalt) path around the outside of the park that measure .38 miles around. It is a fairly quiet park, but can get quite a few people during the Summer months. Mainly people walking their dogs and a few people enjoying the play area with their kids. Just a cozy little park to get outside and enjoy the outdoors! They do plow the walkway around the park in Winter, but I am sure it is when they can get to it.

WOW! What a cool…read morepark area. Plenty of parking. Free. There is a nice easy paved trail, and if you are lucky enough, you may come across a deer eating some leaves. There is a pond or stream, there are flowers, birds, and all kinds of sights and nature to enjoy. If that is not your thing there are baseball fields, tennis / pickle ball courts, basketball courts, etc. Definitely a great place for some peace and quiet / solitude, or a date, or a family gathering. I can't believe how lucky we were to come across the deer and of course I did not have my camera with me because the rain was coming, so I only got some cell phone pics and video. The area around the park is nice too, so green and woodsy. If you are in the area, and want a nice park to try out then you should give it a chance.

Oh my goodness the nostalgia is REAL at Elm Grove Park. This is where I grew up, took swimming…read morelessons, attended "safety town," played in soccer tournaments, learned to ride my bike, and ran wild as a pre-teen. As you can probably gather, it's a massive green space, with lots to enjoy! Great for families as they playground is very quality. There are paths/trails that wind around the pond and wooded areas. You'll find plenty of tennis courts (I still come to watch my dad play all the time), as well as baseball diamonds, a frisbee golf course, volleyball nets, and some hills in back that make great for sledding in the winter. The swimming pool is massive (open June-August), and offers both lessons and fun theme-nights. Truly something for everyone at this park! Not to mention, it is extremely well-kept. I love coming back here and can't wait to bring my son once it warms up outside.

When you're relatively new in town, there's so much to explore it can be overwhelming. One of my…read moregoals this summer has been to visit as many parks as I possibly can, and this week's intention was met when I visited Veterans. The park itself is simple and lovely, with paved paths for those who like to run, walk, bike, etc. For those of us who are a little more sedentary, there's plenty of room to spread out with a blanket or chair. There are the usual lovely views of the lake, but the view of the city is particularly interesting from this perspective. One of the highlights is the Gift of Wings Kite Shop, which not only obviously has kites (and what a selection!) but also serves snacks and delicious Chocolate Shoppe ice cream from our friends over in Madison. I highly recommend the Yippee Skippee.

We met up with the family for a picnic. It wasn't a sunny day but it was warm. Free parking behind…read morethe kite shop. There's a small pond for renting the duck paddle boat. And another location to rent the 4 wheel bikes. Park is clean and picnic tables available. Not too many people were there on July 5, I'm pretty sure the place was crowded on July 4 for the fireworks. There is a pier that few people were standing and fishing. Not sure if they caught any fish.

I don't think I've seen an overflowing garbage can (except during a concert once in a while) and litter is rarely spotted. The Friends of Humboldt Park plant and maintain a pollinator flower bed, a special bonus in our neighborhood park. My schedule hasn't allowed me to catch any of the Tuesday night concerts yet this season, but I went multiple times last year and enjoyed the variety of acts. The playground is small (compared to South Shore, for example) but in good condition with a nice variety of equipment, some especially nice for smaller kiddoes.
