Swing Park

About

The swing Park is located in the Multimedia Garden at the eastern end of the Marsupial Bridge.

Description

in 2012 beintween initially installed these swings under the holton bridge, in the media garden on the east side of the marsupial bridge. These swings add purpose to our urban infrastructure and a playful interruption to those passing by. It was our hope that the installation of these swings will serve as not only an element of recreation, but as a point of reconsideration for these leftover spaces in our city.

Since its installtion , the swings have been taken over by the City of Milwaukee and are no longer maintaned or associated with beintween. This facebook page is place for people to post their stories and photos of the space and to share any updates.

here are some articles about the swing park in the last 3 years:
