What are Milwaukee City Parks & who are the folks behind these spaces? Join us for a conversation & snack with Kayla Shultz to learn about her work & how you can get involved this year.

Where are Milwaukee's City Parks, and who are the folks that take care of them?

During this program, you'll hear from City Parks Coordinator Kayla Shultz about what drew her to this work, her role day-to-day, and how you can get more involved in our city this year. We will be sharing Kayla's favorite snack while we talk, so come hungry and ready to learn more about the functioning of Milwaukee's City Parks.

Civic Bites is a monthly series from the Milwaukee Public Library, through the One MKE project, designed to bring you closer to the people who keep our city running.
