Riverwalk Commons

Conveniently located across Water Street from the Milwaukee Public Market, Riverwalk Commons is a vibrant public space that enhances connectivity between the Historic Third Ward and Downtown Milwaukee.

This space features the area’s first outdoor pickleball courts, access to the city’s award-winning Riverwalk, stunning views of the river and is home to several Milwaukee Public Market community events such as Riverwalk Commons Concert Series.

Riverwalk Commons exemplifies how reimagined public spaces can bring the community together. Stop by for a visit or reach out to the Milwaukee Public Market Management Office for space-use inquiries.
