New Parks in TownBy Heather Rule, Photos by Jesse Thorstad and Eric StrandWhether you’re young, or young at heart, the newparks in Fergus Falls prove fun for all!Spies Riverfront Park and Market PavilionSpies Riverfront Park and the Market Pavilion in downtownFergus Falls are surrounded by the beautiful setting of theOtter Tail River. The park draws people downtown andprovides quality of life improvements to the community,according to Fergus Falls city administrator Andrew Bremseth.“We often comment that when you’re standing there lookingat the river, you don’t even know you’re in Fergus Falls,”Bremseth said. “You could be in Colorado or Portland orwherever because it’s such a beautiful setting.”The park, located at 117 S. Union Ave. along the Otter TailRiver, opened in June 2022. It’s named after Gary andSharon Spies, a local couple who own Service Food Marketand have “been good partners to the community and to thecity,” Bremseth said.The park has a walking/cycling path and offers an overlookof the riverfront and benches along the promenade.The Market Pavilion has drop-down garage doors on thenorth side, along with overhead heaters, for usage in coolerweather. People can rent out the space through the city’sparks and recreation department.This space is also the new home for the Fergus Falls FarmersMarket held twice-weekly in the summer. The number ofvendors, crowds and product sales have all increased sincethe market moved to this new location.Dr. Allen Magnuson ParkIn the past, it was known as NP Park. By fall 2022,the park was rejuvenated by the Noon Kiwanis Cluband renamed Dr. Allen Magnuson Park in honor ofthe late Dr. Allen Magnuson, a pediatrician at LakeRegion Healthcare.Accessible and inclusive playground equipment was afocus of the project, with swings, slides and climbingequipment all children could use, regardless of age orability level. There’s a hands-on communication boardfor children who are non-verbal and a touch-buttonwater sprayer for warm-weather days.“It’s eye-catching,” Bremseth said. “And a lot of things todo, and much nicer and advanced than any other parkthat we have in the community.”Before the new equipment was added, the city built upthe park that often flooded after a solid rain shower.After a hydrology study, the playground’s land was builtlevel with the surrounding streets so water will not poolin that area, according to Bremseth.There’s also accessible crosswalks across South CascadeStreet (the park is located at 520 S. Cascade St.) to theFergus Falls Public Library. Visitors of the park oftenhead to the library as well. It’s been a great addition tothe city parks systems, Bremseth said.“It’s been a good synergy,” Bremseth said. “It’s provideda lot of synergy for both the library and the park.”800-423-4571 | OtterTailLakesCountry.com49
