Erie Street Plaza

Erie Street Plaza is a park and public space in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that opened in 2010.

The Hoan Bridge and Milwaukee Pierhead Light are located to the east of the plaza and are visible from it.

After a design competition, a proposal from Stoss Landscape Urbanism, a Boston firm, was selected.

[4] The plaza design features native prairie plants, yellow fiberglass benches that are illuminated at night, and several pathways with edges that blend into the vegetation.

[6][1] Additional aspects of the plaza's landscape architecture include the direct use of river water for plant irrigation, a reduction in surface temperature due to the vegetation, and fishing access compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
