The existing parcel contained the boarded up and closed red brickbuilding that housed the Calvin Moody Pool. This site had beenhistorically troubled and attracted a pattern of crime.
• The design of the new park pays tribute to a prominent local figure –Mr. Calvin C. Moody, a police officer for 25 years, one ofMilwaukee’s first black detectives, NAACP board member, anddirector of the Northside YMCA.
2018 WPRA ParkDesign AwardCalvin Moody Park

• The design team workedwith the City andMilwaukee MetroSewerage District toreduce stormwaterimpact to the combinedsewer system. Bioretention systems andnative raingardens weredesigned to capture andfilter rainwater.

• The splashpad utilizes a recirculation system that was designed to capture and reuse the water fromthe facility. This reduces the demand load on the municipal water supply and minimizes the use ofchemical treatment.
