Lake Park Friends

Lake Park Friends is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the preservation and enjoyment of Lake Park, to sponsor educational, recreational and cultural events in the park, and to raise funds for the restoration and enhancement of the park in the spirit of Frederick Law Olmsted.

Lake Park is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

 
The battle against invasive plant species is a year round effort in Lake Park. And, helpers are needed to check and fill bird feeders daily. For more information, go to Volunteer.
 

Lake Park Summer Stage

Construction and landscaping of the performance stage near Picnic Area #3 has wrapped up. This stage replaces the plywood platform stage used previously. The new stage has a concrete base and a timberframe superstructure, allowing the natural backdrop of the wooded ravine to be visible. See Music in the Park and Events Calendar for summer concert schedule.
