Lincoln Playfield

Lincoln Playfield Renovation Project

Project Description

The renovation process is currently underway to transform Lincoln Playfield and the fieldhouse, creating a safer and more accessible community recreation space in south Milwaukee. Interactive community engagement events were facilitated by Milwaukee Recreation in the summer of 2021. The visions and feedback gathered from the engagement events have directly informed the decisions for the current design.

The active recreation updates include the renovation of the open field to a natural turf U12 soccer field, tennis courts, basketball courts, and walking loop.

The fieldhouse will be updated to meet ADA standards, and will incorporate shaded seating areas to the north and south.

Nature-based opportunities include an overlook on northwest portion of the site and a multi-use riverwalk trail that was developed in partnership with the Harbor District.

This webpage will be updated as more information becomes available.
