Veterans Park

Veterans Park is a beautiful day trip to be had by the whole family! There is plenty of free street parking as well as many places within the park. There are beautiful trails along Lake Michigan and also an inner trail by a lagoon. The lagoon hosts paddle boat rentals that look like swans. They also have kite rentals and have warm season movie nights. There were plenty of places to have a bbq close to the lake. The park is quiet, very safe and relaxing. They had picnic tables and park benches around the park too! There are many species of birds. I was able to catch glimpses of red wing blackbirds, loons, geese and ducks!

My favorite park in Milwaukee. Look to see when the sun rises then be walking on the trail as it raises in winter or summer and it's beautiful ! Parking is plenty but wear rain boots in the winter because even if it's not snowing the grass is muddy.

Nice scenic park. You can rent pedal (swan) boats, tandem bicycles, and pedal carts to ride. There are many benches along the bike/walk path to sit and enjoy the lake and watch the sailboats. Plenty of free parking space. Enjoyed a sunny afternoon here with my husband.
