NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' (Kinnickinnic River Parkway) exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History.

2016- "The National Register-listed Kinnickinnic River Parkway consists of approximately 340 acres of county-owned park land connecting Jackson Park, Pulaski Park, AI Simmons Field, and the Kinnickinnic Sports Center. It features gently rolling hills with open grass areas, a winding parkway drive, athletic fields, mature trees, and naturalized vegetation. Although originally designed to connect with the Honey Creek Parkway and Lake Michigan, that plan was never realized. As a result, the Kinnickinnic River Parkway is not directly connected with any other parkways within Milwaukee County's overall parkway system."

2011- Resurveyed; appearance unchanged.
