United States

This vacant lot located at 32nd Street & Madison Street has great potential to become much more than just a vacant chunk of grass. The local neighbors would really like a fun and safe place for their children to go play as well as a space to relax in a comfortable and vibrant outdoor setting. It is a City-owned lot, so we have some guidelines to follow - no permanent features such as trees, swingsets, etc. (no footings, roots, etc.) We would like to explore options that include play areas, a community garden with raised beds, rain barrels, etc. Please contact us if you would like to help out with this project! afhmilwaukee@gmail.com thanks!
