A Park for All Seasons
Way Park is the heart of a vibrant neighborhood on the west side of Northfield. It features: a musical playground; playground equipment and swings; pre-school equipment; a basketball court; picnic and grilling areas; a walking path; a warming hut and ice rink (seasonal); a small baseball/kickball diamond (seasonal); a large open field perfect for pick up soccer games and kite flying; and lovely rain gardens.
Our organization, The Friends of Way Park hosts several events every year including Yoga in the Park, Pumpkin Fest, and a spring picnic event.
The History--and Future--of Way Park (via Northfield.org)
Northfield.org has run a three-part story on Way Park, based on conversations with park neighbor David Sudermann, who has done extensive research on the park's history. The piece was written by Maia Rodriguez, a Carleton College senior working as a student journalist for the local blog.
