Very fun to visit in the summer, as it is a beautiful park with fantastic views! Plenty of seating for picnics or a rest. Lovely flowers, tees and shrubs everywhere! Updated restroom building in the center. There was even a food truck selling ice cream, floats and coffee drinks (cold and hot) when we visited last weekend!
Tip: As you walk in from the parking 'lot', look for a sign at the entrance of the park with a QR code to scan - it should say something about an audio tour by the Minnesota Public Radio (MPR). Scan the QR code (you can usually do this by opening your phone's camera and holding it like you are going to take a picture of the QR code), your phone should open the webpage, and once on the webpage choose the last option ("Enger Tower: History of the Tower", or something like that). It will download very quickly, and then press play to start listening as you walk up the hill to the tower.

Read moreGreat park with incredible views! This is a must-visit any time I'm in Duluth. The panoramic view of the city and lake from the top of Enger Tower is truly a sight to behold. On a sunny day, it's the type of view so beautiful it feels like you've stepped into a postcard!

The park itself is well-maintained with picnic tables, trails, and public restrooms. Do keep in mind these restrooms (and the tower) are only open seasonally. However, even in the off-season the views from the park overlooking the lake are stunning. Plus, the landscaping and other features around the park are lovely too.
I highly recommend paying a visit to Enger Park if you're in Duluth for the day, especially during the summer months when you can check out the view...
