Parks and trails in New Germany

With such a small land area, the impressive number of outdoor recreational options offered is a large selling point for residents living within the community. New Germany is home to 4 parks and is close to a number of regional options. The parks in and near New Germany include:

Tower Park: Tower Park is a park designed for kids, and was named after the former location of the city’s water tower. It includes swings, slides, and other playground equipment for younger kids, and a basketball hoop for all ages. With its active outdoor options, Tower Park makes a great destination for a sunny afternoon.

Lindstrom Park: Lindstrom Park was established in the 1980’s, and is the host to men’s and women’s softball leagues each year. Once a year, a tournament is sponsored with the nearby Hollywood Sports Complex, which brings teams from all over the state. A concession stand, bathrooms, a volleyball court, horseshoe pits, tennis courts, and a shelter with several picnic tables are also available for the enjoyment of residents and visitors.
