You don’t have to leave the city to find a beautiful natural escape. Greenfield Park, located in West Allis, a suburb of Milwaukee, is a beautiful and well-maintained urban park that provides a variety of recreational opportunities and natural beauty – it’s a pleasant Wisconsin county park that’s worth seeking out. Here’s some more information about Wisconsin’s Greenfield Park.
Greenfield Park covers approximately 278 acres, making it one of the largest parks in West Allis. It borders Waukesha County, and it offers a range of features and amenities for residents and visitors to explore. It’s a county park – Milwaukee County purchased the land for the park more than a century ago.
One of the park's prominent features is its series of lagoons and ponds, which are not only aesthetically pleasing but also provide opportunities for fishing and wildlife observation. The ponds are often home to various waterfowl and other bird species, making it a great spot for birdwatching.
Greenfield Park boasts well-maintained walking and biking trails that wind through the park, providing a scenic and relaxing environment for outdoor enthusiasts. These trails are perfect for pleasant walks or bike rides surrounded by nature.
Greenfield Park features a playground for children, making it a family-friendly destination where kids of all ages can enjoy the outdoors. There’s a family water park, and it’s also home to a segment of the Oak Leaf Trail.
The park's ponds and natural areas provide ample opportunities for wildlife and nature observation. Birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts can spot various species of birds and other wildlife in a peaceful setting.
Greenfield Park is accessible for people of all abilities, with paved paths and facilities designed to accommodate everyone. Take time to explore this special park!
There are so many parks in the Milwaukee area that you can discover from the saddle of a bike – I have enjoyed riding to and through many of them.
