Sibley Park

"Sibley Park established in 1887, is named for Minnesota’s first Governor, Henry Hastings Sibley. The park currently has active recreation opportunities on the north side with softball, tennis, fishing, and sliding hill. More passive recreation is provided on the south side of the park with extensive landscape and gardens, a story book farm site, open space and picnicking areas. The hill top of the mound is being reclaimed through plantings and controlled burns to an Oak Savanna environment similar to what originally existed."
