Parks

The City of Kandiyohi Parks and Recreation Department's provide park facilities and programs to accommodate the needs and interests of local residents and visitors. Whether you are into sports, nature or just want to take your children to the playground, the City of Kandiyohi is the place for you.

The number and quality of a community’s parks, trails, open space, and recreational activities are constituents to the health and wellbeing of a community. The number and distribution of a community’s park system plays a large role in perception by the community itself. Accessibility, both in the sense of proximity to its users, as well as the ability of its users to engage with the site, is paramount to a cohesive park system.

While Kandiyohi has a relatively small footprint, it has a respectable number of parks which cover multiple uses, sizes, and roles within the broader park system. These parks include:
