Tree Replacement - See our Trees page for more information.

​

​Playground - South Shore Park Playground is one of the most highly utilized playgrounds in Milwaukee County. ​Due to its heavy usage, it is in need of significant repair, and ideally replacement. Community support was essential to get a large-scale project like this approved by the County. Friends of South Shore Park advocated and raised funds for the project through the Fund Play Bay View Campaign (www.fundplaybayview.com).

The playground rebuild is in the approved county budget. The Milwaukee County Parks department now oversees design and construction of the project. Design started in 2024. For more information, please see -

Education - We host several hundred students from our community each year for an Earth Day Education event. This event features a series of environmental education sessions.

Past Projects - We are proud to recognize many accomplishments including advocating for Park Pavilion improvements, reconstruction of the breakwater and Oak Leaf trail, the South Shore Parking Lot reconstruction, as well as rain gardens and native plantings in the park.
