The area is perfect for a run, walk, hike with pup, or for an extended bike ride on the trail, heading north of Puetz Road. If you enter via 51st, there's a large parking lot closer to the nice newer kid's playground (not to be confused with the handicap accessible Kayla's Playground, nearby at Franklin Woods). There's also a small covered picnic area, bathrooms, and a frisbee golf course. The frisbee golf course just got paved "tee off areas", and I saw volunteers tending to them, and a few "golfers" out on a recent warm day. You can also access from the Milwaukee County Sports Complex. Froemming Park is top notch, and a nice example of adapting park use for local residents.

You're by the water, surrounded by butterfly gardens essentially. The flowers along the path are so pretty. The sidewalk and dedicated trails can keep you walking way father than you care to walk back. Perfect to get a couple of cute pictures. The beach you may end up walking past is really a resting pad for geese,ducks and seagulls so don't get any bright ideas. And if you're into collecting skeletons you may come across some crawfish which I saw a couple kids eagerly on the hunt for.

I don't think I've seen an overflowing garbage can (except during a concert once in a while) and litter is rarely spotted. The Friends of Humboldt Park plant and maintain a pollinator flower bed, a special bonus in our neighborhood park. My schedule hasn't allowed me to catch any of the Tuesday night concerts yet this season, but I went multiple times last year and enjoyed the variety of acts. The playground is small (compared to South Shore, for example) but in good condition with a nice variety of equipment, some especially nice for smaller kiddoes.

Doc Park is beautiful! While visiting friends in Milwaukee, we came to Doc Park to let the kids…read moreburn some energy. The park is BEAUTIFUL and right along the lake. We loved playing on the playground located on the park too. The only downside of the playground is that it's sandy, which can get a little messy, but our boys loved playing in the sand! Outside of the playground, the park is made up of large green fields to explore and run around. We wandered all around until we found a set of stairs leading down to the lake and takes you right to the beach. The path was so pretty! The lakefront in Chicago is always so busy, it was nice to be right along the water and it be so quiet. Doc Park is a gem!

I love that it's such a vast park, which so much open space to run, picnic, or post up on a blanket with a book. It also happens to have my son's favorite playground around, so he's always requesting we go! Surrounding the play area are plenty of picnic tables where we have seen grill-out type gatherings before. It's on our list to plan a big one with friends this summer. Plus there's a pavilion down one of the paths that has bathrooms and a covered space which comes in handy. Oh and the BEST part? The very best part!? The relaxing and beautiful walk down into the woods that leads your straight to the Milwaukee shoreline. Everytime I walk down I think that it must be the best kept secret because it's never (ever!) busy. Maybe I'll regret telling the community in this post!? The two pathways, be it quite steep, are wide and paved, winding down into the forest. When you get to the water you find the most stunning and serene views. Sometimes I forget how lucky we are to have Lake Michigan attached to our city. There's nothing not to love at Doctors. Get outdoors and enjoy!

This is a tiny little park at the end of the Root River parkway in Greenfield. It is quiet and…read moreperfect if you're looking for someplace to escape and relax or read a book. It has a small playground and a couple of picnic tables, but that's about it. So, why the four stars? It faces a huge grassy area that is pretty nice for watching wildlife, whether you're looking at swallows swooping up and down after mosquitoes, or deer grazing in the tall grass. On one end of the park,the lawn gives way to trees and shrubs. Behind the playground is a bit of lawn, and more trees. Behind the trees starts a fairly quiet neighborhood that I bet many people don't know exists. On the other end of the park is Meadow Drive and, across the street, is the home of Bill Radler, breeder of the Knock Out rose! His yard is beautiful to look at as you sit in the parking lot of the park... 32/2018

On Wednesdays June through the end of October the park comes alive when a farmers market is held from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. featuring local produce, crafts, live music and food vendors. Get there early if you only have an hour and plan to order from a food vendor! There is a unique gazebo in the park which is industrial in nature, and features an interesting roof if you step in and look up. The bordering fences also tell an interesting tale. Parks are generally places where people like to hang out, however this park seems to sometimes attract people who might be considered to be loitering rather than enjoying the park's virtues, but overall I dub this park A-OK.

We were able to see all 3 domes in an hour: Show Dome, Tropical Dome, and Desert Dome. Compared to the Desert Dome in the Omaha Zoo, these domes were smaller. Nevertheless, these domes have varied plants from different parts of the world which were amazing to see. The Show Dome has a small short bridge and a gazebo which were nice areas to take pictures. A small gift shop sells some small plants, magnets, shirts, jewelry, pins, etc. Overall, it's a good place to visit.
