This Square was a highlight of our trip to Milwaukee from Madison last night. The holiday decorations were outstanding! There were many festive decorations with seats where you could have photos taken of groups or solo. There was even a huge Seasons Greetings picture frame where you could have your photo taken (great idea for a photo Christmas card!). The entire atmosphere was conducive to meeting others & getting into the Christmas spirit while taking photos of one another & chatting about the other locations in which to see holiday lights. Will definitely be telling friends about this lovely Square!
We visited the park last night during our tour of the downtown Milwaukee Christmas decorations. As in the past, we greatly enjoyed them. Of the three decorated parks, this one was the least busy so our grandsons were able to get out of the car and enjoy the decorations up close.
Ziedler Union Square is a fantastic quaint urban park. It’s loud due to traffic of a downtown core but still peaceful. There is an incredible amount of shade due to tree lines and a wide variety of benches and picnic tables. Portapotties were on-site when we were. The gazebo has 4 outlets for power. There are bus stops, bike-share options, and street parking at this park.
Nice park in an okay part of downtown Milwaukee. No great features, but some nice ones.
Wonderful urban park which boasts many significant events for Madison throughout the year. If youre an active member of the Madison community, I guarantee youre familiar with this park.
Fun photos
We used this area as a staging area for the Memorial Day Parade. This is a very nice park and a big Thank You to Milwaukee Motor Cycle PD for keeping everything working smoothly.
Beautiful lights during Xmas and little bit of green space.
Went here for the farmers market and it was nice. Lots of food trucks, but also vendors for produce.
Little grass area good for eating lunch on break or sitting with friends. Nice gazebo and drinking fountain. Wednesdays they have a farmers market with great food stands and cats, some live music and acts for the kids and adults.
Zeidler Union Square Park is a go to spot during the holidays. The lights are beautiful and have a charm. A nice trip for families with kids. And the park has a history tied to it which every kid should learn.
Nice place but staff not helpful at all
Loved it. Very good place to relax and have peace of mind.
Attended UCC Synod there, great facility there. Awesome event, was well planned
The weekly farmers market is a nice addition.
Nice small park for a walk or picnic.
Christmas lights are great!
Friendly people. Peaceful park.
This time of year. The square has fruit and vegetables market event going on.
I always enjoy stopping by the Westown Farmer’s Market on my lunch breaks Wednesday afternoons in the summer. Whether you’re looking for lunch itself, fresh produce, or canned goods, Westown has a solid variety.There are usually at least half a dozen food trucks lined up along the park, and other vendors if you want to purchase lunch at the market. There are another half dozen plus vendors for fresh produce, flowers, and other such things. For a lunchtime downtown weekday farmer’s market, I would say there is a nice variety of seasonal vegetables usually available, and the prices are good. Other stands with baked goods and crafts are also present.If you have a half an hour to spare on your lunch break and you work downtown, I would recommend stopping by. Sometimes youll even find live music.
Oof this place is so beautiful because it is the center of beautiful buildings!!!
Love that Father Block is there in the Gazebo bringing Mass to the homeless any given Sunday @ 10am. Rain or shine Milwakee can count on Gods Faithful Son to be there bringing the hopeless a lot of HOPE!
If the city ever cuts down the beautiful old and majestic trees in this park, it will be a travesty. In the summertime, this little tiny park which is devoted to labor and Milwaukees beloved Socialist mayor is popular with city dwellers who have dogs, farmers market on Wednesdays and the homeless.In the winter, giant light displays that have not changes in 30 years are placed in the exact same spots.Nestled between WE Energies buildings, the Boston Store headquarters (and the Grand Ave mall) and the converted office building to apartments called The Buckler -- its a nice spot if not neglected in spots. Occasionally area headquarters have their company picnics there even if the land is uneven and power is negligible. Overall, its a cute park that could use better urban planning or a French cafe kiosk.
Nice small square, has food trucks/farmer markets on Wednesday day time. Pretty good varieties of vendors, but not a lot of free parking around it.
A must see place during the Holidays. There are lots of Christmas lights, a HUGE lit chair and more. You wont be disappointed.
Great park for the working class of Milwaukee.
Great place. No lie
Simply amazing!
Very beautiful
Decent downtown parks. Last time I was there they still had port-a-potties everywhere which stunk to high-heaven. Not really a pet-friendly park, but theres still dog logs everywhere. watch your step.
Love Milwaukees parks

Great Market on Wednesdays in the city where I am able to peddle my small batch Kombucha. Cheers! #kettnerkombucha
Pleasant place to sit, smoke a cigar, and read in the afternoon in the city.
A neat little city park with an artistic gazebo
Wednesdays markets are great, and the park itself is very nice.
