Meyer Park

Riverside Retreat

Found on Green Bay's east side, Meyer Park stretches along the peaceful banks of the East River, just north of Mason Street. There's something inherently calming about being near water, and this park offers that tranquility with its lovely waterfront views.

If you're looking for a quiet escape from the buzz of urban life without actually leaving the city, this riverside space hits the sweet spot.

A Splash of History

Ever wondered why locals sometimes call this place the "old soap factory site"? That's because Meyer Park stands on what used to be the Green Bay Soap Company grounds.

We find there's something fascinating about standing in a serene park and imagining the industrial activity that once hummed in the same spot - a little window into Green Bay's manufacturing heritage.

Nature's Canopy

The first thing you'll notice here are the magnificent cottonwood trees that dominate the landscape. These gentle giants aren't just beautiful - they create pockets of cool shade that feel like nature's air conditioning on warmer days.

The combination of these towering trees and the flowing river makes Meyer Park one of the most picturesque spots you'll come across within Green Bay's city limits. It's one of those places where you can actually feel your shoulders relax as you take in the scenery.

Paths to Wander

Winding through the grounds are several walking trails that invite you to explore at your own pace. Whether you're in the mood for a brisk walk, a thoughtful amble, or just finding a quiet spot to sit and reflect, these paths accommodate all intentions.

And good news for dog parents - the trails are dog-friendly, so your leashed four-legged friends are welcome to join you on your outdoor adventure. Nothing beats seeing the joy on a dog's face during a new walking route!
