About Indigenous People’s Park in Milwaukee
Indigenous Peoples' Park, formerly known as Columbus Park, is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The park spans 10.4 acres and serves the surrounding community as a neighborhood recreational space.
In 2019, the park was renamed from Columbus Park to Indigenous Peoples' Park as part of a broader movement to recognize and honor the heritage of Native American peoples. This change reflects a shift in perspective and an acknowledgment of the complex history of the Americas.
The park provides various recreational facilities for visitors of all ages. It features open green spaces suitable for casual sports and picnicking. The park also includes a playground area for children, offering a safe space for young visitors to play and socialize.
One of the park's notable features is its wading pool, which provides relief from summer heat for families and children. The park also contains ball diamonds, allowing for organized sports activities and community games.
