Milwaukee Recreation’s renovation to the playfield included new basketball and tennis courts, a splash pad, upgraded playground equipment, an obstacle course, shade structures, painted play activities, a kickball and football field, new lighting, seating and picnic areas, an outdoor classroom, increased green space with new plantings, and much more.
In April 2023, Milwaukee Recreation was honored by the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects for its work at Green Bay Playfield, with the renovation receiving the Honor Award.
