Drones

We currently do not require a permit to use a drone in our parks for  recreational use (Special Events, Weddings, etc. only ).

All we require is that the drone and drone pilot must be in compliance with all Federal, State and Local licenses and provide documentation upon request. Drone pilot must fly drone with public safety as its highest priority.

Milwaukee County Parks Drone Guidelines:

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operators must comply with the regulations issued by the FAA, and these rules:
- Drones may not be flown within 50 feet of Park Buildings, pavilions, shelters, statues.

- Drone flights that hover directly over an outdoor ceremony or group of people, without their consent, are not permitted..
- Commercial use of drones on Milwaukee County Parks property, requires a filming permit.
