Oak Grove Park

A Riverside Escape

Stretching along the Red River, Oak Grove Park spreads across 36 acres of green urban sanctuary. This little glimpse of nature in the heart of Fargo offers an ideal mix of open spaces and wooded areas, where magnificent oak trees create pools of shade on sunny days. If you're an early bird, you might be rewarded with sightings of local wildlife - birds chirping their morning songs, wild turkeys strutting about, and squirrels darting between trees - all adding to the park's peaceful vibe.

Get Your Game On

The park features an 18-hole disc golf course that meanders through the landscape. Many locals swear it's among the best in Fargo, offering something for everyone from first-timers to seasoned disc-throwers. The course weaves through diverse terrain with trees creating natural challenges along the way. Just a heads-up though - the markings between main and alternate baskets could be clearer.

Fancy something different? Oak Grove is home to North Dakota's largest horseshoe complex - a hotspot for both competitive matches and casual tosses. There are also tennis courts available if you're looking to channel your inner sports star against a backdrop of riverside scenery.

Chill and Grill

When it's time to relax, the park offers plenty of picnic areas with tables and shelters - some you can reserve ahead for special occasions. Several large pavilions come with serving bars and counter space, suitable for family reunions and other gatherings. These covered enclosures include charcoal grills where you can cook up a feast while enjoying the outdoors.

Explore and Connect

The Red River flowing alongside the park provides nice views and connects to a network of trails for walking, jogging, or biking. You can even cross over to Moorhead to extend your adventure. When nature calls (the other kind), restroom facilities are conveniently located in the central area of the park.

Community Heart

Oak Grove Park hosts various community events throughout the year. Its proximity to downtown Fargo makes it convenient for a quick nature break within the city.

Fun for Everyone

Kids will love the well-maintained playground that caters to various age groups. And yes, your furry friends are welcome too - the park is dog-friendly, however the designated walking areas for pups might be somewhat limited. Pack a ball, a book, or just your walking shoes - Oak Grove Park has a little something for everyone.
