Sherman Park
Sherman Park neighborhood, Milwaukee
3000 N Sherman Blvd, Milwaukee
Sherman Park, named after the neighborhood in which it resides, is located on Sherman Boulevard between Burleigh and Locust. While there is ample street parking along 41st Street to the east, there’s also a parking lot. The entrance is off Burleigh, and there’s also a circle drive perfect for drop offs and pickups (designed for those coming in and out of the Boys & Girls Club branch at the center of the park). The parking lot is nestled between the baseball field and basketball and tennis courts. A wading pool and small community garden are also located near the entrance.
The playground is full of exciting features: wide archways, triangular web climbers, balance obstacles, mini zip line, suspended tunnels, spinners, rock walls and tall slides. Next to the main structure is a smaller playground geared toward the younger kids.
Four regular swings and two infant swings are available, as well as three benches. The terrain is rubber flooring. Portable restrooms are available.
The south half of the park is green space with paths running through, as well as an exercise area with equipment.
