New park to explore: Badger Meter River Park offers unique access to riverfront

BROWN DEER -- Brown Deer has a new park. The Badger Meter River Park opened on Friday, October 2nd.

The park features a handicap-accessible boat launch for canoes or kayaks as well as scenic views of native prairie grass, wetlands and oak savannas along the riverfront. As the only park of its kind in the northern stretch of Milwaukee County, Badger Meter River Park will give residents public access to 270 feet of Milwaukee River shoreline.

The Badger Meter River Park was made possible in part through a $40,000 donation from Badger Meter.
