This is one of my favorite parks to have little get togethers at. The pavilions are great places to have birthdays, baby showers, etc. Theres a nice playground for the kids and a dock to go out fishing on.

Absolutely Beautiful park. Well maintained. We have a family reunion there every summer! There are nice picnic shelters (we reserved ours), a nice playground for kids and a great swimming beach. There are also flush toilets and changing rooms.

Very nice park with more than one area for the kids to play, the day we were there people were having a birthday party but no worries we just went down to the other swings and slide. Very beautiful scenery.

This park is kind of a hidden gem in Alexandria. Its beautiful with fully mature trees, a nice shore and lake views, fishing pier, walking/ jogging tail access, kids play grounds, pavilion, clean restrooms, and so much more. Its conveniently located a couple blocks off Nokomis on the North end. Ive also found, in my opinion, that theres rarely many people here.

One of my favorite parks in town. Fishing pier, bike path, swimming beach, playground equipment, tennis courts, and a Dairy Queen nearby. What more do you need on a summer day?

Beautiful city park, lots of space. Trees galore. On the shores of TWO lakes. Fishing pier, swimming beach, covered picnic areas. Great for families and dogs. Indoor rest rooms, no confessions tho. Bring a basket lunch. Alcohol is not allowed, so be discrete if you must.

Great park and playground. The kids had a variety of playground equipment to choose from and then could walk down to the lakes. The dock is setup very nicely and there is also a slide and swing sets down there too.Tennis courts were being used by people playing pickleball, and they desired to have an actual setup by the Park’s Department.

Great place! But their was 3 cockroaches in the sink in the girls washroom on may 16 2019! But im not saying its a bad place and u shouldnt go there u should! Its a wonderful place but if anyone works there u should clean thebathroom more often and maybe make it nicer and add a door to enter the washroom

Review №54

We had a b-e-a-utiful day! The lower level of the park has a small parking area and there are a few picnic tables under a shelter and there is lake access. A dock on one side and a small beach on the other side. Our church had a great picnic and the pastor baptized a bunch of people in the beach area of the lake! It was a Holy Spirit filled atmosphere complete with a dove (pigeon) flying overhead! The water was a little cold since it is only Memorial weekend but no one really went swimming. I was glad there were indoor bathrooms with sinks, soap and paper towels. The kids liked the swing set and slides.

Review №65

This is the best park in Alexandria, MN. Its a bit hard to find, but that just makes is more quiet. There is an upper portion (shown as green on the map) that is an open field which is used for parking during major events like Art In The Park (late July). There is also a quality modern playground, two shelters, and two tennis courts (moderate shape) on the upper part of the park.The best feature however is when you go down the bank to the point. It is peaceful, scenic, filled with tall trees, and culminates in a point that you can wade out on (an opposing point is private property, so please dont trespass if you cross). The lower park also has a small beach, swings, a slide, a nice shelter, a historic gazebo, a fishing dock, and a 4 person shelter by the point. You can also take the trail from here that connects with the Central Lakes Trail closer to downtown.
