Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
Parks and trails in Little Canada
This department manages the city’s 12 parks and trails, ensuring that visitors have a wonderful experience. With a wide variety of parks featuring both passive and active amenities, there are plenty of outdoor places to explore within Little Canada. Some of the city’s most notable parks include:
Gervais Lake Beach: Gervais Lake Beach is one of the most popular destinations in the city during the warmer months. Operated by Ramsey County, Gervais Lake Beach includes a public swimming beach, concession building, fishing pier, restrooms, picnic shelters, and a playground. Residents love to go swimming and have picnics here during the summer.
Pioneer Park: Pioneer Park is one of the largest parks within Little Canada. At 33 acres, Pioneer Park has lots of space for visitors to explore. The park is relatively flat and open, making it a great place to throw a frisbee or exercise the dog. Amenities within the park include 4 softball fields, 2 tennis courts, a basketball court, soccer fields, walking/biking trails, a playground, picnic shelters, and a concession building. The picnic shelter can be reserved, making it a great spot for family picnics, graduation parties, or other activities. During the warmer months, the park is home to several community sports leagues.
More places to get outside
Spooner Park: Spooner Park is a 25-acre park located near the local elementary school. With beautiful, mature trees on a wooded lot, the park has plenty of shade to provide a break from the sunshine. Amenities within the park include 5 softball fields, 1 soccer field, 2 lighted tennis courts, 2 picnic shelters, a band shell, a playground, horseshoe courts, a sand volleyball court, a basketball court, and walking/biking trails. With so many amenities, Spooner Park is perfect for those seeking active or passive recreation in the outdoors.
Old Fire Hall: Old Fire Hall is both a park and an amenity within Little Canada. Home to what was once a fire station, Old Fire Hall features kitchen facilities, bathrooms, and a large gathering room which holds 75 people. It is available for rental and is a great location to host a special event. Outside of Old Fire Hall are ice rinks in the winter time. These are a popular amenity along with the playground that is on site.
Waterworks Right-of-Way: The Waterworks Right-of-Way is a unique amenity for Little Canada residents. Essentially, it is a paved trail that runs the entire length of the city from north to south. Residents can hike or bike along the path, making it a great destination during the warmer months. Additionally, the pathway connects to two parks within the city, which make great rest stops.
