Harriet Tubman Park

Harriet Tubman Park, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a 12.4-acre public park named after the famous abolitionist and conductor of the Underground Railroad. The park, formerly known as Wahl Park, was renamed in 2021 to honor Harriet Tubman's legacy and her connection to Milwaukee's history in the fight against slavery.

Situated on the city's north side, Harriet Tubman Park serves as a recreational space for the local community. The park features open green spaces, providing areas for relaxation and outdoor activities. It includes multi-use fields that can accommodate various sports and community events.

Harriet Tubman Park stands as more than just a recreational space; it serves as a reminder of the important role Milwaukee played in the Underground Railroad and the broader struggle for freedom and equality.
