Beautiful small plaza with bubbling water and play features, along with a small slide, and a very tall slide made out of an old shipping container. This is a great addition to the budding Harbor District, next to UWM's Freshwater Sciences building.
A few bike lock stations and a bubbler and a bottle fill station make it a nice pit stop on a ride. Iron gates with art, open up to a seasonal kayak launch. 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. read more
