Earlier in the month, Lakeshore staff installed a new interpretive sign highlighting the importance of creating year-round habitat for birds and other native wildlife. The sign is located along the western paved trail, between the beach and fishing pier. The sign was installed using funds from the Friends of Wisconsin State Park’s Incentive Grant. Many thanks to FWSP and FLSP members for the donations that made this project possible!
The Friends of Lakeshore State Park are excited to have our beautiful park as host site for the Milwaukee Chinese Community Center’s Dragon Boat Festival. We will be in the race with our team “Fishful Thinking” and helping provide volunteers for the event too.
Every family visit to Lakeshore State Park is a chance to take great care of Milwaukee’s urban oasis for everyone to enjoy! When your family explores the trails, watches birds by the lagoon, or enjoys a picnic with Lake Michigan as your backdrop, you’re part of something special. Lakeshore State Park belongs to all of us, and that means we all get to be its caretakers.
