A once shining jewel of the Milwaukee County Park system is now a shabby remnant of its past. Unkept, untrimmed, and sparse. Except for Margies Garden for children which is semi private.

Beautiful park. Shade trees, picnic tables, brick and mortar bathrooms, green areas. Well maintained, clean. Live entertainment, concession pavilions. Playground, Limited parking. Walking paths. Beautiful trees and flowers.

Enjoyed our hike today in this well maintained park. Walked to both sides of the waterfall for pictures as it was pretty.

We went to the Winter Lights the night you could donate to the hunger task force and get at $12.00 coupon off. The line of cars was unbelievable and even with the $12.00 off coupon this was not worth the effort. We waited in line for just over an hour for a 1.5 mile drive. The lights were terrible, looked like something you could have gotten at the store. A few trees actually only had flood lights shining on them. There were not many lights at all, More effort was spent on the sponsors signs and even that was lame. China lights is phenomenal! I guess the key words were producers of the China lights NOT the actual artists. We wont waste our time next year, UNLESS we see reviews that are a thousand times better. The people at Whitnall park should take a look at Janesville Rotery park to see what lights are supposed to look like, and get some tips on what to do next year. We were so dissapointed.

Go for the botanical gardens, the golf or just wander on your own enjoying the break from city life.
