Fargo Parks History
Parks are ingrained with personal meaning. The playgrounds that live in the memories of generations of people are the soul of our communities. Today, the Fargo Park District is an over 2,100-acre system consisting of local and regional parks, playgrounds, golf courses, biking and walking paths, nature parks, campground, river parks and complexes. Take a step back in time to discover how our park system got its start.
