Milwaukee County Parks are more than just green spaces for our community; they are the lungs of the county, providing a breath of fresh air and recreational spaces to its residents. Together, Milwaukee Parks Foundation and Milwaukee County Parks are working towards a vision of rekindling the spark of these green sanctuaries and breathing new life into these cherished public spaces.
In close partnership, we address long-standing challenges like crumbling infrastructure, outdated amenities, and maintenance issues while incorporating community input and activation. These joint efforts are transforming our parks – ensuring our green spaces are vibrant, our playgrounds are safe, and our trails are inviting.
In the story of Milwaukee’s partnership between its County Parks and the Milwaukee Parks Foundation, the message is clear: when public entities and community organizations come together with a shared vision, they can create profound positive change.

Parks play an essential role in the community. Parks are a natural resource, a central point, a green necklace surrounding and connecting the community. For Esperanza, Pulaski Park has been the central point of the community. Our goal at Milwaukee Parks Foundation is to ensure that parks are a place for the community now and for future generations.
