Humboldt Park — Attraction in Milwaukee

As Humboldt is our local park, we're here pretty constantly over the spring, summer, and even fall. The Bay View Neighborhood Assoc. does a fantastic job of organizing activities for the community, and it's really become a gem in the Milwaukee Park System.

I think our favorite annual event would have to be Chill on the Hill, where bands come out one night a week over the summer and you have a great outdoor concert atmosphere.

We also enjoy the Craft Beer Garden, sponsored by St. Francis Brewery. They not only offer their own brews, but the craft brews of others all summer long.

I ding a star only because, as a public park, there are those that think that means they can do whatever they want there. While the Beer Garden has a great, family vibe, it does not deter the heavy drinking crowd from making a scene every now and then nearby the Garden.

Also, after big events, visitors could do a much better job of cleaning up after themselves. We've been part of volunteer clean-up crews here and there, and it can be pretty shameful.

Overall a wonderful park in a great...

In the winter, enjoy the hill for sledding and tubing. You just can't be bored here! Ifyou haven't been to Humboldt Park, you're missing out. Any time of year, this is the place to be. Note: Be very, very mindful of where you park. Parking enforcement actively patrols parking and may just ruin...
