Oak Creek Parkway — Attraction in South Milwaukee

The Oak Creek Parkway itself as a destination of untouched natural beauty is second to none. Being part of the most grandeur County Park in Southeastern WI, (Grant Park), it is a 'Must See' by both out-of-town visitors as well as local folks who already know its endless beauty and prestige.

The local birds caught wind of the chatter and set the bees-a- buzzing, a lively Community...

I’m not sure if there is a specific parking lot but we just parked on the street at the end of one of the dead ends that lead to the park trail. There was so much space to walk and there’s a creek that runs through the park as well. There’s a couple big open areas great for kids/dogs to run around, and there’s also a playground that looks to be in really good condition if not brand new. Highly recommend for a nice...
