    This is perhaps one of the oldest parks in the city and was given to the city by George Walker (no…read morerelation to George Walker Bush and family), one of the Founding Fathers of Milwaukee as what was to be the centerpiece of his settlement (imagine the area before 1-94). This park has seen better days to be sure, but has changed with the times to offer a wading pool for kids with ample benches for parents, and a new (2013) playground for kids. The comfort station needs work, and I am saddened to see that the fountain was removed in the late 20th century. The park hosts a farmer's market most of the warm season (several days a week) and many of the vendors are Hmong families offering Latin, and old style Midwestern veggies as well as some Asian exotics as well. This is a great place to bring kids if you need a break! The wading pool, and new playground are truly amazing for the babies on board set. I wish it had more benches not attached to the play pond for kids since it is sometimes hard to come here and have a nice lunch on the 1 or 2 benches. I love that it is still very much a square on the West and South Sides of the park where 19th century homes (some in great shape, and some needing work) circle the park. As one of the oldest parks in the city/county, and one of the few given to the people of Milwaukee by a founding father I feel this park should see investment due to its historical importance. Still, it is a great place for a midday picnic (bring your own blanket).

    It's a nice park when not over run by the school. Free WiFi, an excellent Hmong farmer's market in…read moreseason, a little playground with pretty new equipment, and a nice balance of trees and open grass. A good place for a picnic. Two problems are that the school takes up all the public parking around the park on school days into the evening, and in the morning and the afternoon the parent traffic chokes the immediate vicinity. A second weakness are these strange non-functional exercise machines in a poor state of disrepair, quite the eyesore.

    This would be great if only there was a crosswalk here.
