The…read morebaseball diamonds look recently updated, there is a large play area of kids, a pool, and a pond for fishing (stocked with fish!). There is frequently a food truck or two parked on the perimeter. I've visited a couple times and there are a lot of people during nice weather. There is definite need for available restrooms - there are a couple bathrooms, they were just locked (even though the signs said they were open). Luckily, we found 1 port-a-potty at the far edge of a baseball diamond. The pond also needs some love - there is quite a bit of smelly algae, and I imagine the dissolved oxygen levels are low due to high water temperatures, especially during the summer. Not sure how well the fish are doing, and it is HEAVILY fished. However, it was nice to see so many families enjoying the pond and I love seeing parents teach their kids how to fish. As an ecologist, it is sad to see Honey Creek is still confined to the concrete channel that runs through the park. But the ducks and geese seem pretty happy. A solid 3.5ish stars, will be back next time I'm in the area.

I've been to this park, sitting all unassuming-like and almost hidden on 6th street, on numerous…read moreoccasions and dined with my husband on our take out (usually Culver's, from down the street). Sometimes it was in the car, sometimes it was at a picnic table. Having no real reason to check out the area, we never explored it, so we pretty much thought that what you could see from 6th street was it. Off the parking lot, however, there is a driveway/roadway that goes back a little ways and there are buildings at it's back, but there is a sign at the "entrance" to this drive that states any parking beyond is handicap accessible only. Bingo! Hubs has a placard, having recently undergone knee surgery. So, on this fine July day, we drive back into a smaller parking lot and are surprised to see what looks like 3 pretty big buildings, basketball courts in the not-to-distant distance and some open space with more picnic tables! Wow, who knew? We grabbed a picnic table under some oaks and began to eat. I looked up for a second and realized there was a pond down the hill in front of us. In the pond, a Great Blue Heron was fishing for it's lunch. Cool! We finished eating and began to explore. The 3 buildings were actually 2. One was a very large cabin that we learned could be rented out for parties. It comes complete with a stage area, small kitchen, bathrooms (of course), a fireplace and some lodge-y type furniture. It also has a wrap around porch and looks over the pond. On one side of the cabin is a wildflower garden that looks like it was abandoned. There are short pathways in the garden, but they are overgrown and lead to broken and/or rotting wooden benches. Behind the cabin are paved walkways that lead to a floating dock in the pond and to a small wooded area beyond. The other building was a recreation type building that you see in most parks, with the swimming pool dressing rooms attached to it. There is, indeed, a pool. Two actually....a kiddie wading pool and a large swimming pool that is only 5 feet deep. Behind the swimming pool is a bunch of playground equipment (swing sets, monkey bars, etc.) with the b-ball courts to one side and an empty lawn on the other. It also looked like there might be a small parking lot by the b-ball courts. If not, there is plenty of street parking available, as I noticed there was another street back there (9th street) with houses on the other side. Now that I've seen the whole of it, I can truly say that this is a neat little family friendly gem hidden between the airport, Layton and Howell. A nice place to hang out when the other area parks get too busy. 124/2015

Perhaps a straight shot kayak launch with less obstacles and right angles is needed here. I was in the area picking up a DIY fall river cleanup kit from Milwaukee Riverkeeper, who would probably appreciate a helping hand with occasional debris, if you spot it. It takes all of us, sometimes. There's nice signage of individual and corporate sponsors, who helped make this plaza a reality, and help keep making Milwaukee a great place on a Great Lake.

The splash pad is silent in fall and winter, but the playground remains active on sunny days. Off street parking is ample and soccer games are fun to watch, even if you don't have skin in the game for either side. Maybe Gordon Park isn't a big one or a famous one in the County's excellent park system, but it is so accessible -- you can just tumble out into Riverwest and Harambee neighborhoods from there.

And, finally, the most recent addition is the Sacred Rhythm Mother sculpture. It's formed by branches bent and shaped to look like a face emerging from the earth. It's stunning. This is the sort of park where I immediately feel at peace and inspired. The benches are little works of art as well. It's a magical little space that charms completely. Get to it!

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!
