Counting Sheep? Nah, We're Counting Parks!
Here's the thing: Milwaukee's park system is like a sprawling family reunion. You've got the bigwigs like the Milwaukee County Parks, with over 150 parks under their emerald wing. Then there are the cool cousins, like the state parks and the ones run by the city itself. It's a big, happy, leafy family.
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
So, an exact number? That's a trick question, my friend. It's like trying to count all the freckles on a ginger's nose – a noble pursuit, but ultimately a tad impossible. Estimates range somewhere in the ballpark of 150 to 170, but hey, who's counting? (Except for maybe the park maintenance crew, bless their green thumbs.)
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
