Rent Riverside Park

Overlooking Riverside Park, the Urban Ecology Center offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forests along the Milwaukee River. Your guests will enjoy taking a stroll in our gardens, exploring our award-winning building and admiring the view from our second-floor deck and tower.

Hold Your Sustainable Wedding in Our Eco Friendly Venue!

Our spaces proudly integrate green building techniques such as photovoltaic cells, green roofing and rainwater collection systems, geothermal heating and consistent use of recycled building materials. These features are not only functional and help us keep costs low (so we can pass those savings on to you), they are also great conversation pieces and teaching tools.

Need a venue for your wedding? Consider our Riverside Park branch! Check out this gorgeous video by Angles Creations featuring the beauty of the grounds and the spaces you could use.

Email rentals@urbanecologycenter.org for more information on the sustainability requirements we have for our rentals. We'd love to share our wealth of knowledge and offer you our unique insight into why certain materials should not be at your event and which alternatives might work best for you!

We would love to host your event and can accommodate a wide variety of parties including weddings, receptions, dinners and birthday parties, as well as your organization’s next fundraiser, business meeting or retreat.
