Park Pals New Berlin

Join us for free outdoor fun at Park Pals New Berlin! Each gathering includes a 30-minute interactive program featuring music, movement, stories, bubbles, parachute play, and activities designed to support early childhood development through play.

Families are encouraged to stay before and after the program to enjoy the playground, connect with other caregivers, and build community.

As always, Park Pals is completely FREE to attend. We recommend bringing sunscreen, water, bubbles, a blanket, and anything else that helps your family enjoy a morning at the park.

Everyone is welcome—parents, grandparents, caregivers, nannies, and friends. We can’t wait to play with you!

Meet Our Organizer

When I started Park Pals, I just wanted to give families a reason to get outside, connect, and play together. What began as a small group of parents meeting at local parks has grown into a community that reaches thousands of families across Southeastern Wisconsin — and I’m so proud of how far it’s come.

As a former educator and mom, I know how important early childhood experiences are — not just for kids, but for parents, too. My goal has always been simple: to create spaces where families feel welcome, supported, and rooted in play.

Every new face, every giggle, and every park day reminds me why this work matters. And I’m especially grateful to my son, Wes — the original Park Pal — whose curiosity and joy continue to inspire everything we do.
