Juneau Park Friends

Welcome to Juneau Park

Juneau Park is a historical green space that transitions the urban skyline of Milwaukee to the expansive beaches of Lake Michigan.

In 2009, Juneau Park Friends was established as a non-profit with a mission to promote the preservation and renewal of Juneau Park.

With your help and the assistance of the Milwaukee County Parks System, we will continue to make the park a favorite destination for those who live and work in the neighborhood.

The Honorable Solomon Juneau. Milwaukee’s first mayor will always have his place in history, right here in Juneau Park. Residents and visitors have passed his way since 1872. He continues his watch over them today as they bike on the Oak Leaf Trail, walk with their dog, or enjoy a lake view. Learn more about the statues and park history.

Juneau Park is a fresh change of pace from the busy downtown lifestyle that Milwaukee residents live day to day. It has provided an oasis of trees and plants from busy streets and high-rise buildings since its creation. Juneau Park has long been a place to seek peace and solitude. Learn more about the natural assets of Juneau Park. 

The 14 acres of green space in Juneau Park offer endless activities for visitors. For decades, people have come to the park for a quiet walk, a leisurely picnic or to simply relax and take in the spectacular views. Run, bike, or walk with your four-legged friends along the Oak Leaf Trail, or enjoy a cold beer at the Juneau Park Beer Garden.

Juneau Park Friends is a passionate group of people who care about the park. By joining Juneau Park Friends, you can support the park and stay up to date on projects and progress. Most importantly, you will become a participant in the renewal of the park. Learn how to stay connected.
