Canterbury Park: Canterbury Park is a neighborhood park located on the east side of Savage. A good alternative for those desiring a smaller, quieter location than the Savage Community Park, Canterbury Park offers visitors numerous sporting amenities. Activities include tennis, volleyball, baseball, soccer/football, ice skating, and hockey. In addition to the fields, courts, and rinks, visitors can enjoy a playground, picnic area with outdoor grill, walking trails, and a warming house.

The park’s peaceful setting make it a great location for young families or those desiring a summer picnic. Additionally, the park has plenty of open space, making it a great location to throw a frisbee or walk the dog.

Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve: The Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve is a massive 2,400 acre regional park owned and operated by the Three Rivers Park District. While mostly undeveloped, the park reserve is perfect for a wide range of activity. Visitors can explore the park on nature trails by hiking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, mountain biking, or cross-country skiing; enjoy a picnic amidst the glacial ridges, hilly terrain and lush forest; or they can go boating, fishing, or kayaking on the park’s lake. The undeveloped nature of the park makes it perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, and it is recognized by the National Audubon Society as an Important Bird Area.
