    Great park for young children! My son is 13 months and was actually able to enjoy the smaller…read moreplayground, crawl up, use tunnel, make noise, and SLIDE (with an assist). There is also a double swing for both toddler and parent to swing together which he loved!!!

    tl;dr An older neighborhood park with fenced baseball diamond with bleachers and lights, park…read moreshelter with bathrooms and drinking fountain. Plus, a brand spanking new (2017) Landscape Structures branded, baseball themed, playground with rubber playing surface. I hadn't planned on going to this playground, heck, I had never heard of it before... But, our plans to head to the zoo got foiled by the massive lines from the free Senior day. So, I opened Yelp, searched for playground, and this beauty popped up. Yelp, you saved the day, yet again! The little kids side (2-5) is unique, but in a positive way. I feel like most little kids areas are the same basic=boring setup. It sorta reminded me of the old woman who lived in a shoe, with a sloped roofline and misshapen/unbalanced look. This area had ringing music notes, a track to run little cars/balls down, a crawling tube, a spinning giant glass marble, on top of the slides, climbing ladders, etc. Plus, there was a dedicated little kids swing set, with two toddler swings, two regular swings, and then the much loved yet hard to find toddler/parent combo swing!!! The big kids side includes a four seat seesaw, an accessible swaying "boat", multiple climbing walls, a standing gravity spinner, five slides, "concessions stand", a dedicated big kids swing set with accessible swing, and more. All of this included old shade trees, overlooked the diamond, and was a short walk from the bathrooms. Kudos to West Allis for installing a truly great and unique playground.

    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!
