lakeshore state park

Prominently located along the Milwaukee shoreline, Lakeshore State Park is the newest state park in Wisconsin and the only state park located in an urban setting. Built using rock from Milwaukee’s most important water quality infrastructure project – the MMSD Deep Tunnel – the park is one of very few entirely human-created ‘islands.’ Today, this 22-acre park has become a popular destination for city residents and visitors who enjoy the park’s open spaces and panoramic views of water and sky. The park offers a 1.7-mile trail for hikers and bicyclists, a watercraft beach with access for canoes and kayaks, plus fishing areas and 20 slips for boats up to 60 feet in length. TKWA has designed and I am coordinating, as an LFA, the project to be Zero Energy Certified by the International Living Future Institute.
