Confirmed online that the pad was open. Walked 12 blocks with three excited kids in a wagon. Got there to find it wasn’t even filled with water yet. Update your website you lazy d-bags.

I wasn't expecting the wading pool to be free so that was a pleasant surprise. The fenced in wading pool area is clean with a few benches to sit down. Restrooms and small playground nearby. Summer fun for kids :)

Love wading pools, Milwaukee does a great job. Mostly clean. My little kiddos were trampled by the splashing running big kids, but they were friendly. Good community

Biggest downsideis there's no shade but my daughter liked it and there's changing rooms and a small playground adjacent to the wading pool. We'll be back.

I used to come here every year as a kid now I have little ones that I would love to bring. Will you be open this year in 2023? As it shows temporary close ??
