recreation in our neighborhood

Havenwoods is home to many recreational facilities that draw people from all over the City of Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin . Residents find a bit of nature on their own tree-lined streets in over 250 acres of wildlife refuge.

Milwaukee neighborhoods are known for their beautiful parks. Havenwoods is no exception. The Havenwoods State Forest, Wisconsin’s only urban forest, offers the ideal setting for afternoon bike rides and family picnics. Those who enjoy sports gather at the beautiful McGovern Park for a game of basketball, football, or baseball.

Residents and visitors to the area can also enjoy the many activities that our own Uihlein Soccer Facility has to offer. Uihlein Soccer Park is home to the Milwaukee Kickers, and the Milwaukee Wave. This soccer park has an annual exposure of over 950,000 people per year. Most of the spectators and event participants are from Milwaukee, Ozaukee, and Waukesha Counties; however, certain tournaments and events draw spectators from the surrounding states. The Milwaukee Kickers Soccer Club holds youth tournaments  and Uihlien Soccer Park holds tournaments annually for youth and adults.
