Wednesday, June 29 at 11:00am
Burnham Playfield, located on the south side of Milwaukee, is a central gathering place in the Burnham Park neighborhood. The renovation project was developed through extensive conversations with community partners and neighbors.
Milwaukee Recreation's renovation to the east portion of the playfield included the removal of asphalt paving, the planting of shade trees, and the installation of a new synthetic turf soccer field, walking paths, a new playground, and basketball courts. The wading pool at the playfield was also converted into a user-operated splash pad. New and upgraded site amenities have also been added, including improved lighting, benches, and trash receptacles. Fieldhouse updates, scheduled to be completed this summer, will include new windows, doors, and accessible restroom facilities.
