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.

Prairie Springs on Park is part of the Riverland Development Campaign

The Urban Ecology Center’s Riverland Development weaves buildings and the environment into a holistic experience, highlighting the intersection of the natural and built environment to support our community.

The Riverland location will provide a unique, eco-friendly event hall called Prairie Springs on Park, an engaging environment for the community to enjoy greenspace and support our growing program and operational needs. This inviting property will be a destination for neighbors near and far to connect to each other and to nature.

But wait, there's more!

While Prairie Springs on Park will be our signature space, it’s one of many we offer to create the perfect eco-friendly event. Whatever your intended event size, budget and ambiance, we will work with you to craft an event that is beautiful, meaningful, and memorable, all while supporting our UEC mission.
