About the Location

Natural Getaway

Positioned in north Fargo, Unicorn Park spans a modest 11.7 acres of refreshing green space. As part of the Urban Woods and Prairies Initiative, this little slice of nature has been undergoing restoration since 2014, breathing new life into the local ecosystem.

Just north of Interstate 94, this park offers a welcome escape from the city hustle without having to leave Fargo behind. With its blend of wooded areas and prairie landscapes, you can experience authentic North Dakota ecosystems without a long road trip - just a quick jaunt across town.

Wildlife and Conservation

If you're a bird watcher, you're in for a treat here. The park's natural setting creates a fantastic haven for local wildlife, especially our feathered friends. The conservation efforts have focused on bringing back native plant species, creating a little biodiversity hotspot right in the middle of the city.

Getting Active

While Unicorn Park definitely leans toward the more rustic, back-to-nature vibe compared to some of Fargo's manicured parks, there's still plenty to do. Paved trails wind through the area, well-suited for a contemplative morning walk, a revitalizing jog, or a leisurely bike ride surrounded by nature's calm.

Before You Visit

Keep in mind that parking is limited to what's available on the street. True to its conservation roots, you won't find loads of amenities here - and that's kind of the point. This park is all about preserving the natural beauty and ecological significance of the area, offering a simpler, more connected outdoor experience.
