OUR PARK
BID 16 Uptown Crossing’s park — CALLED UPTOWN 56 — IS LOCATED at the corner of N. 56th Street and W. North Avenue.
OUR RENOVATED PARK IS ALMOST FINISHED.
Our park, renovated in the summer of 2023, accommodates music events, vendor pop-ups and public events. In May 2024, we will be adding sod to the area in front of the two shipping containers.
Every summer, BID 16 hosts our annual “Uptown Get Down,” at the park, where you’ll find plenty of food, fun and music.
Local business owners use the park to host their own events. For instance, Mercedez Butts (left), owner of Joyce’s House Education Center, used the park in September 2023 for a literacy event attended by Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson (middle) and BID 16 Executive Director, Tracy Staedter (right).
