Parks and trails in Corcoran

Residents who are desiring to visit an established park can visit the Corcoran Community Park, or one of many parks in the surrounding cities.

Corcoran Community Park: The Corcoran Community Park is Corcoran’s only established park. While the city of Corcoran provides ample space, this park was specifically created to provide a place of recreation and outdoor enjoyment. Acting as the sporting center for the community, Corcoran Community Park is home to numerous ballfields ranging in size, a hockey rink, a playground, tennis courts, a volleyball court, and a picnic pavilion. Many community sporting events take place here, and it is a central location for the Corcoran community.

Crow Hassan Park Reserve: The largest park in Rogers, and one of the largest in the region, the Crow Hassan Park Reserve is owned operated by the Three Rivers Park District. A massive, 2,227-acre park reserve located on the western border of Rogers, the Crow Hassan Park Reserve is located on the Crow River. What makes it so special is the habitat that it contains. The park reserve is home to a restored prairie. This prairie is a year-round attraction due to the wildlife that it draws as well as the colors that it displays throughout the year. Visitors can potentially see deer, fox, coyotes, Trumpeter Swans, hawks, or bald eagles. In addition to scenic beauty, the park reserve offers miles of trails for horseback riding, skiing, hiking, and geocaching. This park is just a short drive away for Corcoran’s residents.
