# Why this category

Parks are places residents use daily and parents search for by need: free things to do in Milwaukee gets 600 searches a month in the US with a difficulty score of 0 (Ahrefs, pulled 2026-11-01). Pick this category when the main use of the place is open public ground. A museum with a garden belongs under its own category.
