Sturges Park — Attraction in Buffalo

The best park in Buffalo! Right in the heart of down town, there is a walking path leading from Sturges to the lake, the splash pad and the library. There is much to do in the area... Picnic tables/grills, skate park, playground, beach, music trail, fishing docks, boat rentals, an amphitheater for concerts in the park, outdoor fitness equipment, one of the many buffalo statues and if your lucky you might find one of the enormously popular "Buffalo Rocks, rocks" (Search Buffalo MN Rocks on Facebook). Like many parts of Buffalo, Sturges Park has a great deal of history, it was once part of The Big Woods and had a great deal of native American history as well. The Sioux Indians once hunted and fished in the area. And while many assume Buffalo is named after the large hairy mammal, it is actually named after the big ugly fish! For more history visit the local library and check out the book "Buffalo: From Trading Post to Star City" written by local author and school librarian...

Pretty for in the middle of town. The lake is DISGUSTING. It's smelly, slimy, and I think a bit TOXIC... Nasty. This is obvious to the locals and people familiar with the area! If you want to go somewhere that you can actually use the lake for swimming, boating, etc. Pulaski is for that! If you are just interested in the park it's beautiful, large, filled with large trees. It has a playground for the kids, bike/walking path, pier, flower gardens done by the locals along beach, small concessions building ice cream, drinks, etc. There's also rentals available for paddle boats, sail boats and pontoons. Also in the summer there's concerts in the park at the stage, movies in the park, and other fun events. So it's great for a park and things to do... as long as you stay out of the...

Enjoyed seeing family. The park has picnic tables and a nice play area for kids. Grills also to use. Buffalo lake is home to Sturges park. In the town of Buffalo. You can reserve areas for your family parties. Bathrooms And a few porta potties. Sad to see the lake brownish green I suppose from run off of lawns and roads. We got there about 12:30. And tables were already being used. It still was enjoyed by us. We in MN are blessed to have so many lakes and parks to enjoy. To bad we take our many lakes for granted. And not take better care of them. You can also launch boats along with fishing peers to fish off of. Lots to do there along with rentals of water toys. Not sure of park hours. Easy to get to along...
