Greenfield Park is also home to a playground, facilities for baseball and volleyball, an aquatic center and an 18-hole golf course. “The Wisconsin State Fair Park is nearby and is a big draw to the area,” says Luna. “Along with the fair, the park hosts tons of annual events year-round. Locals like being close to the activity.” The Pettit National Ice Center lies just north of the park and is the United States Olympic team training site for figure skating, speed skating and hockey. The center has free skating hours and skating lessons for all ages. The West Allis Athletic Complex is also nearby and hosts local youth league and public-school games on its football field, baseball diamonds and soccer field.
