Playgrounds

Milwaukee Recreation will provide enrichment activities, play opportunities, and free meals at playground sites across the city beginning June 21, 2021 (for kids ages 6-17). In the interest of keeping our staff and customers safe, participants at all sites will be expected to follow safety protocols and comply with limits on certain activities and group sizes.

Please see the chart below for playground locations and hours, as well as additional program opportunities that will be available at each site.

Roving Playground Activities

Milwaukee Recreation is excited to welcome back many fun activities this summer. Returning this summer will be the Wacky Wheels Skate Van, equipment giveaways, and partnerships with the Wisconsin Bicycle Federation, Milwaukee Public Library, and Artists Working in Education (AWE).

We will also be rolling out our brand-new, Video Game Van! Children will have the opportunity to play kid-friendly video games on Nintendo Switch with an emphasis on physical activity. Specific site information and the updated Roving Activities schedule can be found here!

We look forward to seeing you this summer!
