Beautiful, inside and out

Prairie Springs on Park will change the landscape of Milwaukee event spaces by creating a stunning eco-friendly setting for any special event that marries urban elegance with the enchantment of the natural world.

Located 3 minutes from downtown Milwaukee, you can still find the buzz of the native prairie plants, trees of a future savanna and lushness of an urban forest. Our lovingly restored historic building is the perfect setting for any memorable moment - from weddings and life events to corporate conferences and retreats to fundraising galas and much more.

  • 300 capacity event space
  • Overlooking balcony up to 75 people capacity
  • 100-person covered patio
  • Salvaged cream city brick, reclaimed wood, industrial vibe
  • Intentional landscaping with native plantings and eco friendly bioswales
  • 5000 square foot field - great for ceremonies, team building activities, and more
  • Gorgeous backdrop of Riverside Park and Milwaukee Rotary Centennial Arboretum

As an extension of our broader Urban Ecology Venues event space offerings, we pride ourselves on experienced staff dedicated to helping leave a lasting impression on your guests with minimal impact on the environment.

Not only is this an awe-inspiring venue for all- it’s an equally beautiful way to honor the natural world and the community around you. The revenue generated from events at Prairie Springs on Park support the Urban Ecology Center’s mission to connect people in cities to nature and each other.
