Bradford Beach is a public beach in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The beach which was constructed in the 1920s is part of Lake Park; a mile (1.6 km)-long park on a bluff above Lake Michigan. Lake Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 22, 1993.[1]
Design
Bradford Beach falls within Lake Park which was designed in the late 19th century by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed Central Park in New York City.[2][3]
The beach is wheelchair accessible.[4] In 2021 the rising water of Lake Michigan has shrunk the width of the beach.[5]
History
In the 1920s, the beach was created by filling in swampy areas near Lake Michigan.[4][6] It has been Milwaukee's most popular beach. On the beach near the road, there is a historic bathhouse.[5] The Bathhouse was built in 1949 and includes a walkway above Lincoln Memorial Drive. The Wisconsin Historical Society surveyed it in 2011.[6]
One local resident who patronized the beach was a man named Dick Bacon. Bacon was known to work on his sun tan in the middle of winter at Bradford Beach.[7]
