Milwaukee County Parks Right-of-Entry Permit (project access to park property)

The Milwaukee County Parks Planning & Development page states that "the Parks Department requires that any outside party seeking to access and/or impact park property for a project must first obtain permission in the form of a Right-of-Entry Permit signed by the Parks Director or their designee." A contractor whose work needs access to, or will disturb, Milwaukee County park or parkway land therefore needs this permit before starting. The same page says projects on parkland should be requested only when all other viable alternatives have been explored, that permits are granted at the discretion of the Parks Director, and that submitting an application does not imply approval. The application form is linked from the Application Forms section of that page. This permit is separate from the Parks Vendor Permit, which covers selling or running a concession in a park, and from the MCDOT Public Way Permit, which covers county trunk highway right-of-way.
