What buildings or other things were around the pond back in about 1960?  My grandfather used to take me there and now all is gone.

I`m pretty sure more then one "Pond" was called Mud Lake.

I know there was a pond around 35th and Ramsey that we called "Mud Lake" back in the 60`s.

Google found some additional info and interesting history:

"Grobschmidt Park in Franklin 155 acres of mostly unimproved natural area including a 4 acre "Mud Lake", 2 marshes, two wooded areas, and two prairies. The county parks department has put out a few (3) benches to sit on, a single trash can, and a sign, but other than that, it's pretty much wild.

 A half mile gravel path goes around the lake and once in a while you will actually see someone walking on it. If you Google the park, you'll find only a few photos, and a little bit of history. It used to be farmland belonging to the former mayor of South Milwaukee, William Grobschmidt, and his grandson Chester was also a South Milwaukee mayor. Looking at old aerial photos, the lake used to be half as big, but development in the area changed the water drainage and enlarged it. I think it's better now than back in 1963 when the only aerial photo was taken. A small plane crashed here back in the '70s and a few children drowned in the lake back in the 50's."

Now I'm not sure of my memory about this being where we used to go.  I know we used to drive south on 27th but maybe it was the "lake" on Ramsey.  I remember a home or resort too. Thanks for the responses.
