Thank you to our Event Chairs, Katie Podmokly and Stephanie Mercado, and County Executive David Crowley and countless other Park Champions in celebrating and supporting our remarkable park system.
Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $168,000! There is still time to help us get to $170,000 so we can fund parks programming, maintenance, and more.
Special thanks to our 2025 presenting sponsor

Our Parks Need You!
Milwaukee County Parks are vital to our community, providing spaces for recreation, relaxation, and connection. 90% of Milwaukee residents live within a ten-minute walk of a park. Decades of funding cuts means that today, our vast and vibrant park system is in peril.
“I think the parks are essential to our lives and Milwaukee is blessed with that green necklace that surrounds the city so every person has the ability – whether they have space in their house or not – to be able to sit down and listen to the wind or a babbling brook or the birds.”
