Central Staircase Renovation

The Central Staircase that runs down the bluff to the lake has been repaired. Our most ambitious project to-date, our goal was to renovate the steps to last another 90+ years. Parks-approved contractor Joseph Suszek straightened and leveled 106 steps, replacing three entirely, removed old railings and replaced 70 posts with rails and hardware. Enjoy!

Beach clean up March 2021

An impressive amount of driftwood was removed from the beach due to a FEMA grant given to Milwaukee eCounty. The pile will be carted way. Rest assured tepee builders, more wood will wash up! Look below to see the impact to the beach what we needed to do last year. We are most grateful.

We removed several truckloads of Driftwood from the beach

Many thanks to everyone who helped haul a huge amount of driftwood off the beach. It is now possible to get to the water’s edge without the danger of tripping over piles of driftwood. Enjoy all!
