• Milwaukee County Parks• Community Action

Coalition• Ayres• Continuum Architects

GOALS Interject vitality and ownership back into

neighborhood

Provide a safe and vibrant area to gather in

Provide activities for ALL age groups

Honor local figure (Calvin C. Moody)


• Realizing the potential of the space and the needs of the neighborhood residents, thedecision was made to wipe the slate clean and revamp the space with amenities for allage groups.

The existing parcel contained the boarded up and closed red brickbuilding that housed the Calvin Moody Pool. This site had beenhistorically troubled and attracted a pattern of crime.

• The design of the new park pays tribute to a prominent local figure –Mr. Calvin C. Moody, a police officer for 25 years, one ofMilwaukee’s first black detectives, NAACP board member, anddirector of the Northside YMCA.


• A partnership with the Community Action Coalition spurred thecommunity outreach process and redevelopment of the park.The community desired a safe and vibrant area for residents ofall ages to come together and connect in a positive way.

• The design team workedwith the City andMilwaukee MetroSewerage District toreduce stormwaterimpact to the combinedsewer system. Bioretention systems andnative raingardens weredesigned to capture andfilter rainwater.


• The splashpad utilizes a recirculation system that was designed to capture and reuse the water fromthe facility. This reduces the demand load on the municipal water supply and minimizes the use ofchemical treatment.
