About this place Juneau Park

Juneau Park is a city-centre park on the bluff above Lake Michigan, between Prospect Avenue and Lincoln Memorial Drive. The Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project documents it as a meeting place for gay men from the 1940s, and as a site of repeated police crackdowns, including Milwaukee County Sheriff stings in 1996. Pride itself started here in 1988. We found no reporting on cruising here after 2017, so treat it as history. Public sex is illegal in Wisconsin, county parks close at night, and the park is patrolled. Milwaukee's gay bars are in Walker's Point.

Nice little park not far from downtown. Good place to walk and even cool down on a warm day. Beautiful green grass!

After a walk along the lake side we ventured to Juneau Park and were delighted to stumble across the Travelling Beer Garden. Friendly service and good beer enjoyed in the lovely shade of the large trees. A nice way to cool down.

A long open park between downtown Milwaukee and Lake Michigan, this park runs north to south from the Milwaukee Art Museum up to and opposite Veteran's Park. Good for walking or running you could do the length of this park and then walk up through Veteran's Park along the lakeshore.

It was an ideal day to be in Juneau Park. Temperature in the 70s, sunny and a light breeze. I was at the Juneau Beer Garden for a social gathering a new member recruitment for Our Voice Milwaukee, a chorus for gay men and allies. There was a selection of beers and snack items.
