- The Linden Woods, the park’s charming original name, became simply Lindenwood Park, a place for tourists to camp (thanks to running water in 1921 and the addition of horse and motorbike mounted police in 1922), a lovely picnic and leisure spot for locals (due to benches and picnic areas being added in 1923-24), and home base for a Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) camp (men constructed the main road and toilets and shelters in summer 1934). The main shelter is an original shelter built by the CCC.
- A 140 foot high ski jump was built in 1935 west of a farm, now Trollwood Park.
- On October 28, 1938, the 10-acre Trefoil Park was dedicated. The park is named for the Boy Scout Troop known the "Trefoil Club" who helped organize the park’s construction in the mid 1930’s.
- In 1978, the Lindenwood bike bridge was installed.
- A new walking lift bridge was installed over the Red River in 2013 at Lindenwood Park.
- In 2016, the Fargo Park District teamed up with River Keepers to install an Adaptive Launch at Lindenwood Park. The Adaptive Launch is fully ADA compliant, allowing for a wide variety of users to enjoy the benefits of non-motorized water sports on the Red River.
- In 2018, the pedestrian bridge over the Red River at Oak Grove Park was replaced with a new lift bridge. The lift bridge ensures the bridge is out of order for shorter periods of time surrounding flood events.
