Location of Suburban Park Conference Members

The Suburban Park Conference was formed in the aftermath of extensive athletic conference realignment in southeastern Wisconsin following the 1984-85 school year. It was one of three new conferences created that year (along with the Big Nine and North Shore conferences), and comprised former members of both the folded Suburban Conference (Cudahy, Nathan Hale, South Milwaukee and West Allis Central) and the Parkland Conference (Greendale, Greenfield, Kettle Moraine, Muskego and Oak Creek).^[1] The conference was named after the two conferences (Suburban and Parkland) where member schools came from, and membership was consistent over its eight-year lifespan. In 1993, the Suburban Park Conference was realigned out of existence by the WIAA, along with the Big Nine and Braveland Conferences.^[2] The five largest schools in the Suburban Park (Kettle Moraine, Muskego, Nathan Hale, Oak Creek and West Allis Central) helped form the new fifteen-member Southeast Conference^[3][4] and four smallest schools (Cudahy, Greendale, Greenfield and South Milwaukee) became members of the new Woodland Conference.^[5]
