Harbor View Plaza

Harbor View Plaza, situated in Milwaukee's Harbor District, stands as the inaugural waterfront public park in the vicinity, positioned at the eastern terminus of Greenfield Avenue, directly in front of the UWM School of Freshwater Sciences. Unveiled in July 2019, the Plaza inauguration drew a crowd of project patrons, partners, locals, and stakeholders, all basking in the summer sun on that joyous day.

The Plaza's layout, birthed from a publicly sourced design competition, materialized through the collaborative efforts of Ayres Associates and Quorum Architects, nestled on the waterfront adjacent to the UWM School of Freshwater Sciences. Its features encompass a play structure mirroring global port shipping containers, a water play area for youthful exploration and cooling off, as well as a canoe/kayak launch and dock, offering the only public access of its kind below the Milwaukee River.

Harbor View Plaza emerges as a haven for families and youngsters to relish outdoor activities while soaking in the waterfront ambience. A sanctum for local laborers to unwind during lunch breaks and a sought-after destination for paddlers seeking waterborne adventures. As the primary installment in an evolving network of Riverwalks and waterfront parks along the Harbor District's western shore, the Plaza symbolizes the initial phase towards a broader vision for the region.
