Named after beloved former Summerfest director Elizabeth “Bo” Black, this large splash pad near the main gate gives kids a chance to cool off during Milwaukee’s biggest summer festivals. It’s typically only open when the festival grounds are in use—like during Summerfest, Irish Fest, or Polish Fest—so check out our guide to kid-friendly summer festivals in Milwaukee to see when it’s open!
Visiting on a non-festival day? Northwestern Mutual Community Park is just next door and open all summer with a playground, inclusive play features, and shaded seating.
