The City of Milwaukee is making improvements to the site at 507 W. Rogers Street, .24-acre City-owned parcel adjacent to 0.75 acres of County-owned land. This project will build a Skate Park on the site in the Walker's Point neighborhood. Collaborators on the project include National DIY and UW Extension - Growing Connections.

In March 2026, the City will hold a public meeting to share the final design renderings for the park. Construction is anticipated to begin in late summer 2026, with the park completed by fall 2026.

So far, the project team has made progress on:

• Environmental site review and remediation planning
• Community engagement and stakeholder coordination
• Fund development and grant acquisition
• Conceptual and schematic design
• Internal coordination with City departments and external partners
