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.

Shout out Northwestern Mutual for sponsoring what's probably the best playground in all the city!…read moreAnd let me tell ya, with two little boys I have been to my fair share of playgrounds. The location is wonderful, an urban space right along side the lakefront. I should note, it's tucked inside the Summerfest grounds (Mid Gate of Henry Maier Festival Park) so there are specific "open hours" you're able to come. In general it looks like 10am-7pm, but that can vary based on all of the other happenings that go on at these grounds On a regular day, like when we went, the parking is totally free which is amazing. You'll find a designated lot near Mid Gate, just look for the signs. The play opportunities here are immense! So many structures to climb, play, and interactive with. The park features enhanced playground equipment on that soft/squishy playground surface (which we love), with interactive musical elements and wheelchair-accessible ramps, along with shaded seating. It seems there are almost levels by color/section, all appropriate for various ages. Spaces for older kids, with higher slides and climbing, and other areas that are good for the younger kiddos like my 18mo old, who had a hayday! We brought a packed lunch to refuel the kiddos after they burned all their energy out playing, so love that this park also provides plenty of covered spaces, picnic tables, and benches. Oh anddd they have individual, air-conditioned sensory rooms that offer a quiet retreat for children who may be overstimulated -- how crazy great is that? These are attached to the bathrooms on-site. Everything was very clean and well kept I might add. All in all the park it a wonderful destination for families seeking an inclusive and welcoming outdoor experience. We will be back!!

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.

This place used to be landfill a long time ago and they filled the place up and now it's a park. As a little boy I used to come here a lot. It's a nice and quite little park. There's just a few swings and some sand to play in and of course, there is that kiddy pool for the summer. I probably pee'd in it, haha... Next to the soda machine used to be a pay phone, you know? The one that you put in one finger at a time and turned it in a circular motion. Ah, rotary phones were cool, not! Soda in that machine was 25 cents and they had a machine inside the building that made a cup of chicken broth soup, hot coco or, coffee. Yes, no Starbucks back then. In the summer you can expect to see men dressed up in uniforms playing baseball. You can also play tennis. They have two courts here. Hopefully the nets are new. The most fun is probably during the winter months when snow is on the hill. Take a sled, grease it down with left over lard from Christmas dinner and your in for a joy of a life time. As I said, the park is small, but it's cozy. Just because something is big, does not make it better. [Review #173]
