About Exhibition Center McKinley Park
McKinley Park, located at 1750 N Lincoln Memorial Dr, Milwaukee, WI 53202, has a rich history. In 1916, a U.S. Coast Guard station was built here, operating until 1971. In 1989, McKinley Beach was established, serving as both a recreational area and a buffer between Lake Michigan and Lincoln Memorial Drive. The beach was closed in 2020 due to dangerous currents but reopened in 2024 after renovations.
