Washington Park, Urban park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Washington Park extends over multiple acres with walking trails, sports facilities, playgrounds, and green spaces surrounded by mature trees and landscaped gardens.
The park, established in 1891 and opened in 1892, housed the original Milwaukee Zoo before its relocation to a different location in the city.
The Urban Ecology Center within the park provides environmental education programs and partners with neighborhood schools to connect students with nature-based learning.
Visitors can access multiple entrances with parking facilities at 4023 West Galena Street, while the center operates from the Washington Park Pool House during renovations.
The park recorded over 88,000 visits and 5,100 student experiences in its first year as an environmental education hub through the Neighborhood Environmental Education Project.
