Small, not enough picnic tables around they have them all under a tent of sort across the park and I suppose you have to drag it back to the area you want to picnic at.. Kids had a blast at the water park. 3 stars..
Like many of Milwaukees parks, Gordon park is very nice. The park has a fun water-play-structure for kids to cool off in the lovely summer heat.
Its a great place to let the kids play plus a splash pad I just wish they would leave the water on till 4
Gordon is a decent park. I just hate to see the lazy parents that let their kids play on the swings while theyre sitting in the car. Parking lot is way too far from the play area for you to supervise your children. Being able to walk the trail is nice.
LOVE IT HERE TO JUST SIT AND LISTEN TO MY MUSIC. IT IS QUIET MOST OF THE TIME WHIC I DO LOVE AND ENJOY VERY MUCH
Nice park with access to the river.
Gordon Park is a great park. On first look it seems pretty small. But if you follow the path down to the river you can see some amazing art. The graffiti artists go down and paint all of the concrete surfaces. Some of the pieces are incredibly detailed. Theres also paths that run parallel to the river for quite a ways if youd like to go hiking. Theres a big paved path thats a continuation of the beer line on the south end of the park that goes all the way to North Avenue. In the summer they turn the water on. Its a big sprinkler system thats safe for kids of all ages. We call it a splash pad. I dont really know the real name but its essentially a ton of sprinklers that spray in different amounts, directions, and stream shapes/sizes. The playground is nice. It still has swings which is always a plus to me. Parks are losing their swings, so for a park to rebuild the playground and keep their swings is a big deal. Theres also a big flat grass field that can be used for soccer, football, etc. And a covered area that can be rented for larger groups. Gordon Parks proximity to the river also gives you an opportunity to see wildlife in the middle of the city. Ive seen deer, coyotes, butlers garter snakes, red tail hawks, and more in Gordon park. The cherry on this park is the fireworks for the fourth of July. I highly recommend Gordon Park for your outdoor activities.
Great place to chill and watch and be free
Great spot to chill with friends and fam
Its big huge field we enjoy this park
Lovely & quite clean
Gordon Park, one of Milwaukees supposedly haunted locations makes for a nice stroll out in the sun! There is also a golf course and a restaurant in the park. My favorite it walking down into the wooded trails.
I like it because it is a good place to chill
Pretty good park. Nice picnic areas and playground and there’s a pavilion. It’s up from the Milwaukee river, which is quite beautiful.
Nice place to walk picnics even a soccer goal
Its okay but playground needs update
Gordon Park is a nice place for a get-a-way Its a small park yet, good for a refreshing moment outdoors.
Great spot
Decent size parking lot, nice flat fields, restrooms, playground, bubbler, and right on the bike path. Meets all the requirements of a nice park.
Used to love to walk here many years ago when it was heavily treed before they made it into more of a playground. Do we have to destroy nature so kids can climb on an artificial surface thats not even particularly safe? Miss the way it was...Cool river trails at least...
I really enjoy this park. They have a water section for the children.
Grandchildren had lots of fun!!! L0L outside is always a GREAT Deal...
Beautiful neighborhood park with splash pad and pavilion for rent
Great place for a picnic!!
Great park to take my dogs to run and play.
Beautiful park
Its the east side everything is better down there
Beautiful place to visit.
Unreal this is right in the middle of town. Beautiful foliage, plants, trees and flowers. Very relaxing
Great little park with wooded trails to hike the river.
Every time I come here I find new reason I love it, for the most part its a nice place to bring your kids and enjoy the day but for others its a place to have family gatherings or play soccer.There is even a larping group that comes every Sunday.If you are into hiking you can find the entrance to the trails on locust street near the bridge.
It seems all the parks in this city are run down and dirty. Do better, Milwaukee.
Big neighborhood park with a great chill pad for the kids
Good place for true riverwest natives hipsters go home to new berlin... Credit card hippies... Trust fund babies...
My children was sitting on the ground under a tree a family rudely came right next to me and my family and started bar b queing. My baby has asthma.
Splash pad, spacious. Easy access to river trails.
Great place in the summer for dog owners or parents of young kids.
This is a nice park with a playground and soccer field. There are nicely paved trails as well as hiking trails along the river. The only down side is people often have their dogs off leash.
This park is a park, its pretty good and parky all around and I read that once upon a time there was a beach on the river there
The splash pad is nice in the summer, the park has equipment in good condition. There are bathrooms and plenty of grassy places for kids to run.
Beautiful park. Weve hosted a party here.
Nice pavilion and park
Great place to enjoy the season
Came to play catch with a few friends. Nice Green space to do with what you please, and baseball diamonds with concession stands, restrooms, and bubbler. I dont think there is a legit playground however?
Enjoyed my snack here and then rode down the bike trail.
Nothing like home 414
The bike trail is amazing.
Has great spots to look at the river
Such a great place to take the kids play and a good place to relax and you got Milwaukee river right next to it with some awesome nature trails
Fun kids playground.
Very nice & clean
There used to be a swimming pool in Gordon Park. I swam in it in 1990.
Gordon park is family oriented how I know because I Iive across from it.
Clean restrooms, clean park. Love the location.
