Spring is here, bringing sunny, warmer days with it. And better weather means coming out of the safe-keeping of hibernation to enjoy the great and scenic outdoors. When the weather is just right, one of the easiest ways to celebrate is to have yourself a picnic. Below, we highlight the best places in town to do just that for residents of Saint James Place Apartments.
Lakeshore State Park
Surrounded by water on all sides, this is one of the best places in the city to catch some memorable picturesque skyline and waterfront views. There didnt used to be as many places to sit, but benches have been added throughout the years that make it easier to enjoy a picnic and take in all the scenery.
Walkers, bikers, and runners alike frequent this park because of its twenty acres of beach, prairie areas, and winding trails. You can find more information about the park and its hours over here.
South Shore Park
An area and building known for weddings and noteworthy celebrations, the adjacent park is where the local picnickers love to throw out a blanket or two. Like Lakeshore, the South Shore Park Pavilion offers some pretty remarkable views of the city and marina.
Whether you feel like hanging out near the pier, exploring the jogging paths after your picnic to burn off some calories, or sitting beneath a tree and relaxing in the shade, theres a place for everyone here, including a big playground for any little ones in tow.

Wilson Park
For those days when the wind chill near the water isnt as pleasant as it would be in warmer weather, Wilson Park is a little bit further away from the shore and a bit more shielded from the cold. With over seventy acres of picnic tables, playground areas for kids, a baseball field ripe for pick-up games with friends, and a fishing pond, theres plenty to do here.
Because its a little further removed from the shores, the park is that much more serene. You can read more about the park itself and its adjacent pavilion over here. The Locals Guide to the Perfect Picnic Parks in Milwaukee
