On Saturday Keeley and I took our morning walk at
Estabrook Park. It is 126 acres and runs along the Milwaukee River between Capitol Drive and Hampton Avenue.
Its got several soccer fields, sand volleyball, a skate area, a couple of playgrounds, a softball diamond, and more. According to
Residents For Off-Leash Milwaukee Parks, there's supposed to be a new dog park at Estabrook too.
They said it was supposed to be open by Memorial Day and it's what we came to check out. But we were disappointed because this is what we found. It looks sort of smaller than what we were expecting. There's no fence up yet. Heck, there's not even any grass yet. Major disappointment.
So Keeley and I just continued our walk instead. We walked around this pond even though there was a sign that said "No Dogs".
I used to catch tadpoles here when I was a little kid.
Old train tracks cut the park in half almost.
This spot along the Milwaukee River is supposedly good for fishing.
Keeley loves to sniff stuff on his walks.
This little tunnel goes under Estabrook Drive and emerges at the Eastside Bike Trail where it runs along Wilson Drive.
There are also little paths through the trees but Keeley and I didn't go exploring any of those this time. Instead we just stuck to the
Oak Leaf Recreational Trail which is all paved.

What a nice walkie, Keeley! And that tunnel looks like it would be fun to explore! It would be a nice cool spot to hang out when it gets super hot!
