Shoreland Nature Preserve

(19 acres)

Parcel History

This site was dedicated to the City in 1984 by the developer of the Ville Du Parc subdivision in exchange for a nearby publicly owned gravel pit which the developer now utilizes as a lake amenity in his subdivision.  While much of the site does not directly abut the Milwaukee River, a part of the land transfer agreement specifically affords public access upon the strip of land, still owned by Ville Du Parc, which separates this site from the river.
