Located just west of the hospital in Grand forks sertoma park is one of the top parks to visit with your kids. They have plenty of playground equipment to keep the kids busy for hours and if you want to have lunch at the park they have picnic bench table's with enclosures. There is a nice walking path that takes you over a couple of small bridge's and along the path there are many different types of trees and Flora each with a plaque and a description of which plant or tree your looking at. Just to let you know some of the enclosures can be rented for the day hosting birthday parties or just family get-togethers so don't be surprised to see reserve signs on some of the picnic areas. If you want plenty of sunshine and just a relaxing place to go try sertoma park. Like i said it's in my top four picks the others would be Lincoln Park, Riverside Park, University Park and I all most forgot Sherlock park in East grand forks. Sherlock, Riverside have pools and University has a splash park. The only other outdoor pool is elks pool in Grand forks. Hope this...

The pond is often a home to local tadpoles, which rests adjacent to the coulee where ducks, geese and other random waterfowl tend to feed. A lot of people do like to visit Sertoma Park and in its own right, provides a good sense of peace that makes Grand Forks more serene than other...
Read moreI brought my granddaughter here to look for rocks as there used to be a lot around the water area. We first went to the playground area, which was very nice even during the wet muddy season. After a bit, we headed for the restroom. Before we got to the door, we could smell an outhouse stench. In front of the doors were multiple doggy potty bags. They all appeared to be full. Unfortunately for my granddaughter, the restroom doors were locked. We had to leave the park in search of a restroom.
I also noticed a few "tweens" or teens climbing all over the island and tearing up a tree. It looks like no one believes the surveillance sign.
There was a lot of trash around the island, and the rocks were either gone or just covered in dirt and debris. I would be ashamed to show this park to anyone from Japan. Hopefully, there are spring flowers planted so the park can have a bit of...
