Aaand welcome to the creatively named Milwaukee Middle Park, aka Milwaukee Mini Park #2! That's…read moreright, one of 3 parks with the same name, but certainly not ranked the same. I'd give the North park (#1) the top spot for sure. This one would come in a close second. There's a regular old playground, the big long walking/ running path that passes the park, and even a small frolf course. The thing I found the coolest about the middle park, though, is that there is a "bike repair" station-- literally a little post that has wrenches, a tire pump, and all kind of other tools and gadgets to fix any kind of issue your bike may have, all free of charge. Pretty neat if you ask me!

Very nice and pleasant park. Totally worth the 10 minute drive off I-94 if you want more than just…read morea rest area (the scenic paved loop around the reservoir gets you 2500 steps toward your daily goal).

Stonebridge (#1) is one of the best parks in Fargo, in my opinion. And no, I am not any part biased…read morebecause I live right along the park (is that telling too much? haha).. You can decide whether I'm bluffing or not. To clarify, I guess this is Stonebridge #1 Park, because there is also a Stonebridge #2 Park and for some reason they couldn't give them separate names? But this is an extremely popular park, so it's not just me glamorizing it. If you go to the park or drive past on any remotely nice day past 4pm, you will see DOZENS of people there. Just on the basketball court alone there are so many people hooping it, sometimes it stills boggles my mind because it doesn't seem like the park should be able to fit that many people. A few years ago Stonebridge #1's playground was completely torn out and renovated, and it is way awesomer now (it's a word don't even question it). Super clean equipment and fun stuff for all ages! Even as a fully grown adult I can't help but love their zipline ride or the swing sets. The regular swings are quite high up too, so you get a better swing once you get going, and there's even a double swing. Not only can you play around at the park, but there's also a nice gazebo and lots of picnic tables spread out around the grass, with built in grills nearby most of them. Tons of families go there in the evenings and have meals, and even family reunions. It's really sweet. And connected to the playground, basketball court and grill out areas is a ginormous field- there are soccer goals, a running path along the side, and all the room to do whatever your heart contents outside. There's often soccer practices held there, family and friends playing a game of football, people working out or other. My high school even hosts their annual Powderpuff football games on the field. Stonebridge #1 is a fantastic park, and don't you forget it (or get it mixed up with Stonebridge #2)!

We are on a quest to visit every state park in MN and enjoyed this one. We did the prairie view…read moretrail which takes you on a three mile loop around the river. The untouched prairie provided lots of colorful flowers and other greenery. We enjoyed using our Merlin app to listen and identify all the many birds in the area. The lookout point to see the winding river from above was a nice shady sidetrack. Bugs weren't much of an issue but being a prairie, there was a significant amount of the trail in the sun. Wear a hat. We stopped in the ranger office to see if they had postcards (alas, no) but the staff was super helpful and they had maps if you need them. Great stop!

What a cute park! The camp ground was tiny! And books up fast. Luckily, my friend bought it super…read moreearly. There's a trail off the camp ground that was nice for a little morning stroll. It's peaceful, quiet, and lovely. I wish I spent more time here to actually explore the park. Came here at the end of September and it was lovely.

In my more recent time spent in Fargo I've gained a much greater appreciation for the parks of the…read moreFargo district. I didn't come to the realization before that there are so many darn parks here, and a lot of them are really pretty nice! Fun fact: the Fargo Parks website states that there are more than 150 parks just in Fargo! I mean, like what?!? Why do you even need that many parks for a place that's drowning in snow 3/4 of the year, and why would any other place need that many anyways unless it's a place with hundreds of thousands of people? Yeah, I don't have an answer either. Questions aside, Fargo has way too many parks, and as I've been spending more time outside biking and running it's been quite fun to explore them a little more. Out of 150+ parks, there are 3 that are all along the same path and called Milwaukee Trail Mini Parks, because the trail they lie along is the Milwaukee Trail (this is where you say, well duh!) So, this is park #1, also called Milkwaukee Trail North Park, because it's the furthest north park of the 3. Ever heard of an outdoor gym or a park gym? Well, that's what this place is! They have lifting machines at the park so you can get an outdoor workout in- very cool!! Definitely wouldn't guess Fargo would have one of those so it was definitely a pleasant discovery while out and about. There is some grassy space to do whatever you please, picnic tables, and of course a playground as well. I'd say this is the biggest and easily nicest park of the 3 Milwaukee's.

Mid Century…read moreModern leather chairs, excellent service and you're in for a treat when some of the members are there - they gave me a tour of the place. There is a most excellent ballroom with stage right off the bar with a view of the golf course that really fits with this place. There are 2 floors of event space. I was there when they set tables for an event with 160 place settings. There is probably room for another 40 on that floor. One night I was there they had a disco prom night where people dressed up in their best disco costumes and there was an Elvis DJ. I took my daughter to their Easter egg hunt which was snowed out so it took place indoors and included the huge hall in the Mason's building right next door. It's the best Easter egg hunt we've ever gone to - I can't wait to be there for a hunt that takes place outside on the golf course. They served burgers, hot dogs and fries and they were great. This is now one of my favorite places to go. It's a rare place with that really good energy that makes people happy.

Stopped by this dog park on a cross-country drive so my two pooches could stretch their legs before…read morewe continued onto the next stretch of highway. The park is spacious and well-maintained, with lots of grass and a fenced-in area to separate smaller, shyer dogs from their larger brethren. The biggest downsides to this dog run are the lack of shaded areas (there's a small canopy area, and a small tree or two, but not much besides that for so large a park), and the flat terrain doesn't provide much variety for curious dogs (and their humans) to explore. I also went on a weekday in the early morning, and we were the only ones there, so I can't vouch for the socialization level of the dogs there -- or their humans, for that matter. ;) I don't know how this compares to other dog parks in the area (if any), but it seems Village West provides a pretty decent place for your canine pals to socialize.
