Although Mitchell Park’s redesign is still in the early planning stages, renderings reveal what the park might look like in the future. The renderings, created by Eppstein Uhen Architects of Milwaukee, show two possible locations for the football field donated by the Green Bay Packers to Journey House in 2009. The field would be flanked by bleachers and feature stadium lights.

Plans have not finalized and there are other options, according to Manni Marquez, director of the Clarke Square Zilber Neighborhood Initiative, but two possibilities include installing the field on top of what were once the sunken gardens or where the soccer fields are currently located.
