In 2016 the Rotary Club of Milwaukee polled its members on what significant project should follow its Rotary Centennial Arboretum, which opened in 2013 adjacent to the Urban Ecology Center, another of its interests in expanding community engagement.After vetting a number of proposals, the membership elected to provide significant sponsorship for MKE Urban Stables, a new $5.5 million facility housing the Milwaukee Police Department Mounted Patrol Unit that opened late last year on a four-acre site at 143 E. Lincoln Ave., just east of the MPD District Two station on the edge of Bay View.
