Join the Halyard Park community on Saturday, September 19, as Milwaukee celebrates the neighborhood’s 50th anniversary. The celebration begins at 11 a.m. with the unveiling of a statue honoring Beechie O. Brooks at Gaines Triangle, 2043 N. 6th St., followed by a community gathering at ThriveOn King. Brooks began developing Halyard Park in 1976, creating a suburban-style neighborhood designed for Milwaukee’s Black middle class. Today, Halyard Park remains a testament to the vision, determination and community-building of the people who made it home.
