Building on Our Success
Currently Cathedral Square is undergoing a $1.85 million improvement to the perimeter of the square. This effort, our “Frame the Square” project, will bring wider sidewalks with large pavers and proper tree wells, new benches, new flower beds and much more to the perimeter of Cathedral Square.
Back in 2018, the Friends brought hanging flower baskets back to Cathedral Square for the first time in a decade. The baskets have returned ever year since bringing a splash of color to the square to be enjoyed by all. Through this campaign we hope to fill 23 light poles with hanging flower baskets to make the newly upgraded square look the best it has in years.
In addition to the hanging flower baskets, flower beds are being added to two corners of the square as part of the “Frame the Square” project. The maintenance and watering of these flower beds will be paid for through the “Color the Square” annual campaign. And some campaign funds will help with maintenance of the new improvements to the square going forward.
Why Donate? Because Great Public Spaces are Important
As a non-profit “Friends” group, our main objective is to help improve the overall quality of Cathedral Square, which is a significant location for several reasons.
It was donated by Solomon Juneau in 1837 and is Milwaukee’s oldest park. It’s surrounded by and used by numerous local residents and businesses. It’s a place where our community comes together. Regardless of your personal connection, you want to have pride in your local area and enjoy relaxing in a more beautiful public space.
Great public spaces feel cared for, with attention and detail. For example, Milwaukee’s Riverwalk along Pere Marquette Park looks cared for due to the help of planted flower baskets along the water’s edge. Also, around the perimeters of private properties such as the Pfister hotel, you’ll find attractive flower baskets and other elements which help to make it a special place. Both are great local examples that help to define their identity and create a sense of arrival.
