Nice little place close to home to go and check out to see some wildlife and just enjoy the outdoors. They are currently doing some upgrades and improvements which are nice. They have improved the observation deck and built a new gazebo over by the dam. I do love any opportunity to see the eagles there the most but just being outdoors is great and it’s always quiet here.

This was my first visit to this park. It was raining and overcast today. I was looking for the eagles that many others have captured in their photos. A nice lady named Nancy with her two cute puppies showed me where the tree with the nest was located. I didn’t see any movement in the tree or around the nest. I did hear and see what may have been an eagle flying just a bit too far for my lens. It was very grey and dreary today with the rain and a bit cold, so it was difficult to see anything. I did see two geese sitting on a stone pillar under the train tracks. But even they were too far away to get a good photo with the rainy and wet weather. It was peaceful at the park, and I enjoyed seeing and hearing the train go thru on the other side of the river. I’ll be back to hopefully see some eagles or any other beautiful wildlife. I liked that this park had lots of benches and seats. It was clean, and the area I walked around was flat. There was even a Porta-Potty if needed. If you are in New Brighton, take a few minutes to stop at the park and catch your breath from a busy day. Perhaps grab some lunch to take to the park and enjoy some peace and beautiful surroundings. Maybe you will get lucky and see the eagles.

This is an absolutely adorable little park. Great spot to sit along the river or take a short leisurely stroll. Combined with the New Brighton fishing park there’s a nice stretch of shoreline to poke about.

I love anything nature. No big crowds unless there’s a scheduled event. There are geese, flowers, and lots of foliage to admire and photograph.. Not to mention the water! Tucked away behind the main strip in New Brighton, it’s a little piece of heaven.
