New article of good length. Sources look OK and everything looks neutral. Hooks are cited and interesting. ALT2 stretches it a little since the building is not named after a current owner, but the others are good. The pictures are nice-looking, free photos taken by the nominator, good job there. QPQ is done. I see two minor problems that need to be addressed. The Milwaukee County Park System involvement is mentioned in the lead but not in the article body, and is unsourced. The infobox says the park was established in 1997, but this is also unsourced and not mentioned anywhere else (and it overwrites the "opened" parameter - what is the difference here?). Fix those issues and I think it's ready to go. Ffranc (talk) 10:48, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lightburst: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 01:02, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ffranc: Thanks for the review and ping. Been driving and traveling but coming to address. The main photo in the article shows the Milwaukee County Park System sign for the park but I added a source. I also removed the established date. The open date remains and is likely good enough. Lightburst (talk) 05:11, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good! Ffranc (talk) 09:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
