Juneau Park, Urban park in East Town district, Milwaukee, United States

Juneau Park occupies a bluff above Lake Michigan in downtown Milwaukee, with a lakefront walking path and lawns. The Juneau Monument, designed by Richard Henry Park and built in 1887, honours the city's first mayor, Solomon Juneau. Nearby stands Leif, the Discoverer, Anne Whitney's 1887 statue of Leif Erikson and a replica of her Boston work.

Juneau Park is named for Solomon Juneau, Milwaukee's first mayor; the Juneau Monument honoring him was built in 1887 and designed by sculptor Richard Henry Park. In the mid-1940s Gertie the Duck and her ducklings were moved to the park's lagoon for safety after hatching below the Wisconsin Avenue Bridge.

Gertie the Duck became a Milwaukee emblem in the mid-1940s, when the duck and her brood were moved to the park lagoon after hatching on a wood piling below the Wisconsin Avenue Bridge. Gordon MacQuarrie's reports in the Milwaukee Journal were picked up by national and British papers, and onlookers, Boy Scouts and a Wisconsin Humane Society officer watched over the family.

The park has several entry points and is accessible from different streets around downtown Milwaukee. Walking paths are open year-round, though the bluff terrain means some areas have steeper slopes that require normal hiking ability.
