Grant Park Walking Tour

Join a member of Friends of Grant Park for a walking tour of this beautiful and historic Milwaukee County Park. Along the shore of Lake Michigan, this park in South Milwaukee boasts sanded beaches, miles of wooded trails, sport courts and a golf course. Grant Park’s woods and ravines are ecologically diverse and full of beautiful native plants. Because the first Milwaukee County nursery and greenhouse were originally located on the grounds of the park, participants will also see many non-native plants that may have been planted on-site in the 1920s and ’30s. Learn about the park’s history and natural habitats on this walking tour. This walk will involve going up and down sometimes slippery lannon-stone steps (80 steps) and uneven footing along the trail; accommodations will be made for those who cannot climb the steps or walk the lower trail.
