Lemke Park has an outdoor skating and hockey rink, a warming house, picnic tables, a playground and recreational trails. A project of the Urban Woods & Prairie Initiative with Audubon Dakota, Lemke Park is a Conservation Area and provides plenty of opportunities to see birds and other wildlife in a natural setting along the banks of the Red River. Lemke Conservancy provides woodlands and wetlands to be explored within the park.

SPRING/SUMMER 2025: The City of Fargo is updating the lift station at Lemke Park during the 2025 construction season (Approximately April 1-October 1.) Lemke Park will not be accessible from 32nd Avenue S. during this timeframe as the parking lot and greenspace in between the rink and playground will be utilized for staging of equipment and materials for the new lift station project. This includes the warming house, which will not be available for use or rentals during the spring or summer
