Our parks, our community, and our future are at the core of what we do. This focus on people is the inspiration behind People in the Parks, a new video series highlighting stories of community in parks. You can also view and share them on our YouTube channel.
Parks are more than just green spaces—they are the heart of our communities, where people of all ages come together to connect, play, and create lasting memories. The work being done in Sherman Park by Dawn, Friends of Sherman Park, and the Sherman Park Community Association is a shining example of this impact. Through the Sprouts Fund, the Milwaukee Parks Foundation is supporting resident-led park activation creating opportunities for connection and joy throughout all four seasons.
This story reminds us of the incredible potential our parks hold when they are activated and invested in. By supporting initiatives like the Sprouts Fund, we can continue to turn parks into spaces that foster community, creativity, and well-being. Together, we can ensure that every park in Milwaukee County becomes a place that is inspiring and welcoming. Learn more about how you can support these efforts at mkeparksfoundation.org.
