Leach Park is what you would expect from a park. Here's what it offers:…read more- playground - basketball court - tennis courts (with pickleball lines painted on them!!!) - picnic tables - trees - a pavilion - open field areas - restrooms -compost collection We've been frequenting Leach Park lately because of the pickleball court lines drawn on the tennis courts. (TIP: you can adjust the nets so they're lower for pickleball! (nets should be 34 inches high in the center and 36 inches high at the sidelines.)) The courts are nice enough -- after it rains, water pools near the net though. The playground at Leach Park isn't anything spectacular, but it's still enough to provide a few hours of fun for little kids. There are 3 slides, 3 regular swings, 1 toddler swing, and a few structures to climb on. The ground is covered in mulch. Basically, Leach park is your typical park! It's nothing fancy, but there's also nothing wrong with it. Right now it wins as the best park in Minot because of the pickleball court lines! Woot woot!

A rather nice park for the pooches to burn energy & be social, with appropriate sections & benches…read more We will be taking a temporary break from parks and groomers, (no fault of the park), due to the doggie virus going around, as we encountered another family with a sick dog at home. My advice would definitely be to head out here but give the sick pups a chance to get things sorted to avoid the spread, according to the vet.

The Dakota Bark Park is a pretty decent dog park. It has three areas; small, medium and general…read more It's very spacious so the dogs have plenty of room to run around and chase each other. There are a few shady slots for those warmer days too, but only in the general park (which is the largest). The only real negative is that that water fountain doesn't work, so be sure to bring your pups water to drink. There are dog bags provided. It's a little hard to find but it's worth looking for since its one of the only place I found in Minot where the dogs can run around freely. Overall, this is a good park for the pups.

Free camping with electrical hook up on grassy green site with picnic table. Only four spots…read moreavailable but we were the only ones here. Clean, felt safe, just off the highway. Has onsite restrooms, playground, covered eating area volleyball and basketball areas. Gas station and other amenities nearby in town. The site was easy to back into. Drive past the playground and covered eating area and look for the white sign on the left side. A really nice surprise to find this easy overnighter.
