MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee's iconic Summerfest grounds are about to become even more of a regular family favorite destination.
The Northwestern Mutual Community Park will now be open to the public, even when there are no events going on.
But that isn't the only change happening there.
Eric Christophersen is the president of the Northwestern Mutual Foundation. He joined CBS 58 Morning News to share the exciting news and how the park will feature one of the most accessible playgrounds in the state.
