Really like this local park. Stopped by on one of our nicer days in the middle of winter and it…read moreseemed others had the same idea! Plenty of parking and a few different entrances that you can access from. It can get a little confusing but probably can pick up the different entrances after a few visits. There's a nice paved walkway around the pond in the middle but it may be surrounded by some water logged grass so be careful! There are a few play areas on a few sides of the park so if one seems full, it's not too tough to go to another one. We also attended a traveling beer garden here last year and that was great too. Definitely recommend if you are looking for paved walking.

The forest is also great to explore, and if you're looking for more summer adventure, Cool Waters is affordable and a fun spot for kids On the back end of the park, you can access the oak leaf trail which is amazing for running and cycling.

It's also the starting point in Bay View for the Oak Leaf Trail for many joggers, walkers, and bikers that is along side of Lake Michigan. If you look north, you can see views of downtown Milwaukee and the Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge. It's great to see this view during all types of weather. The visibility seems to change drastically depending on the day. There are also several benches you can sit on while enjoying the view. In the south west part of the park there are some community gardens available. I don't know exactly how the small gardens get rented out, but there is a sign with contact info if you're interested.

Fishing the Lake all along the park is popular, too.

Part of the Oak Leaf Trail, you can bike/hike/run on through. A-okay smaller MKE Park that could.

I'm a sucker for nature and Kletzsch park left me feeling no less awe. I've hiked around this area…read moremore than a few times since moving to Milwaukee forever ago. Kletzsch is particularly stunning as it has a large damn that many people fish in. It's also a great launching point for kayak's and canoes to head up or down the Milwaukee River. We enjoy walking the pooch and pushing through the woods down over near the massive spans of park in that area. Either way it's just a serene and casual walk where you can hear the sound of rushing water. This section of the Milwaukee river is quite high right now. It's amazing to note the changes in land mass that the river engulfs in comparison to drier times. I've even ventured out below the railroad tracks that pass over the river just down from the damn a ways. Nature at it's best on the outskirts of the great city I call home, Milwaukee!

I did learn that if you're a young girl alone asking your Lyft driver to leave you at the park when it's covered in snow it will draw red flags and you'll have the cops looking for you. Mainly wondering why you're wandering the park completely alone. Lol Made for good memories and should that Wisconsin people are very nice and caring compared to other places. Hopefully I'll get to come back to this Park when it's not completely covered in snow and I can freely explore.

Established in 1868, at the start of the magical Waukesha springs era, Bethesda Park sits right…read morealong side the Fox River. The river bank is low and the river easily accessible via canoe or kayak. It is a favorite of the fisherman amongst us. On the northeast end of the park, you'll find a single tennis court, and though a net is up, only rarely will you see it in use. Up hill from the river, road side, there is a picnic shelter and playground, which on the other hand is frequently in use by little ones, Mom and/or Dad close at hand. Dog lovers can rejoice, your dogs are welcome here, though must be leashed. Owners are in fact frequently seen walking the grounds with their fury friends or having a game of catch. Nature enthusiast will find the trees truly grand and mystical. If you come at the right time, you might even be able to catch a glimpse of the resident white squirrel playing in the branches. Best to come and experience for yourself. Lots to see and explore. Take your time and open yourself up to a very unique experience. Don't forget to look beyond the surface, exercise your imagination and all your senses. A lot of history here. Enjoy.

I am writing to express my concern regarding the event held on Saturday, June 20, at Richard E…read more Maslowski Park. The conditions created by this event were completely out of character for our neighborhood and inappropriate for a small city park. The large crowds, excessive noise, and overall level of disruption had a significant impact on nearby residents and families. Of particular concern was the volume of traffic moving through our neighborhood. Numerous vehicles were speeding on residential streets, creating dangerous conditions for children, pedestrians, and families. The situation raised serious safety concerns for those who live in the area. I was also unable to bring my children to the park because of the environment that had developed there. The park was crowded with adults engaging in behavior that made it unsuitable for children, including loud music, profanity, smoking, and what appeared to be public intoxication. Public parks should remain safe and welcoming spaces for families, yet the atmosphere associated with this event prevented many residents from using the park as intended. In addition, I was surprised to learn that admission to the park required a $50 entrance fee, along with an additional $10 parking fee. As a Glendale resident, I have always understood Richard E. Maslowski Park to be a public park available for residents to enjoy. Being denied entry because I was unwilling or unable to pay these fees was frustrating and left me questioning how a public park could become inaccessible to the very residents whose tax dollars help support it. The person in charge, Terrell, was extremely rude and dismissive throughout our interaction. When I attempted to explain my concerns, he was unwilling to listen and did not give me an opportunity to be heard. His attitude made the experience more frustrating and left me feeling that my concerns were not take seriously. He is definitely not someone I would expect the city to have representing it. His behavior was unprofessional and did not reflect the level of courtesy and respect that Glendale residents should receive I urge the City to review the planning, permitting, security, traffic management, and enforcement measures associated with this event. Future events should be managed in a way that protects public safety, minimizes disruption to surrounding neighborhoods, and preserves reasonable access to public parks for Glendale residents.

There is plenty of open space between the play areas for kids to run around, and the benches and picnic tables offer a chance to sit and share a snack or lunch. If you visit the park during the day, don't forget your sunscreen as there are no trees to provide shade. This is a great addition to the Glendale community, and as a resident, I'm looking forward to going more often to enjoy music, the beer garden, and, of course, more time with family.

And the water thing was shut off when we went because it was November. But the park has nice views of the harbor, as you would expect. Plenty of parking here, and it's a nice little trip out here. I think when the Komatsu campus gets built it will be a little less sandwiched in there, but we'll see. There's a bike rack here too, so we'll see if that develops into something more too. Definitely worth a stop, I'll be back, either for a relaxing view of the KK river or let the kids blow off some energy. Or both.
