A hit with locals, the swings usually aren’t empty for long. Luckily, there are several benches around for non-swinging visitors.

There are several places near the park that are perfect for a serene stroll, including the Holton Street Bridge’s pedestrian walkway. There’s also a path along the Riverwalk, where you can enjoy amazing views of the Milwaukee River.
