We love this playground. My daughter says it has "secret rooms". It is a pirate theme fort maze. Big enough for parents to climb through. There's a blocked in Toddler area. It is by the lake so it can be cooler from the breeze. Has some great balance areas, a climbing walk. Not a lot of car parking. Its located by a public boat launch area. There's a brick restroom. Not sure if it's still open for... We love this playground. My daughter says it has "secret rooms". It is a pirate theme fort maze. Big enough for parents to climb through.

Nice little city park with RV and tent camping. They have an area near the lake set up with fire rings and electricity for 6 tent sites near the lake. The park has a nice playground area, swimming area, skate park, public boat launch, baseball diamond, picnic areas and a nice bathroom. I grew up in Crosby and we spent many hours playing up on the tank when that was allowable. You have quick access... Nice little city park with RV and tent camping.

You have quick access to downtown Crosby and all the bike trails from this location and the public boat launch to Serpent Lake. It is really nice to see my home town coming back to life. My uncle owned the Range Rexall drugs on main street for years and he said most Friday nights 10 years ago he was lucky if he came out of the store at 6 pm and saw more then 3 cars down the whole length of main street Crosby. Nice little park to set up camp and hit the bike trails in Central Minnesota or do some fishing in Serpent lake.

Great spot for a pit stop en route to summer camp! We were running a bit early for check in, so found this park to run off some energy and burn time. Large play structures, tons of picnic tables and elevated benches for parents to hang. Beach and dock to walk down to.

It is a big park with plenty of room for events. Has a baseball field, skatepark, and a playground castle, which actually looks pretty neat. The giant serpent statue is the main attraction, but you know you arrived if you see an old tank (can see from the street).

One of the best parks, lots of fun and crannies for the kids to crawl and , a separate “tot lot” playground, great public restrooms, right near the beach and a really cool giant serpent statue!
