Additional Information:2011-
The City of Milwaukee acquired South Shore Park from the Village of Bay View in 1909. However, initial development of the park did not begin until 1920. Development continued into the 1930s and a bathhouse was constructed in 1934.
South Shore park has nonpermanent athletic fields, modern playrounds, picnic areas, and pedestrian paths. The park includes the yaht club and associated structures, as well as concession buildings and a pump house.
