Large, beautiful, tranquil park. Lots of room to walk, sit, read. Framed by two bridges where you can watch for wildlife. Great for photography with the Japanese sculptures. A wonderful playground for children. Connected to a walking/bike path.
We enjoy strolling through this garden in the evening hours working off our dinner. We have been through here many times, sometimes it needs work and other times not so much. Lots of mosquitos so spray yourselves before venturing into the shady areas. Lots of picnic tables and a few benches for a rest.
The star attraction for anyone with children is a wonderful playground with a fully-accessible play structure. It's a great place to take kids to let them climb, run and explore. The Japanese Garden itself is charming and well worth a look. It isn't huge, but it's still a nice spot to wander through. Families will enjoy the trails and bridges, but this is really a place for quiet contemplation. It would be a great place to linger for a while with a book, or just with your own thoughts.
The gardens are peaceful and there are benches to sit and take in the view. Mosquitoes find it inviting as well. Not one of the best Japanese gardens we have visited, but for Grand Forks it is OK. Needs a good group of volunteers. Having said that, we did enjoy our stroll and would go back if in the area. easy to find and walk. Bring you spray though. I can imagine a family having a picnic there at the tables while the kids run. Only wild life was a rabbit.
Such a pretty spot that looked run down and unattended. Made me sad to see it. Was there a few years ago and looked much better.
Fun to walk around this park and look for wildlife. We have found groundhogs, fish, turtles and lots of birds here. We have also taken some beautiful family photos here in front of the beautiful statues in the gardens
The name and photos in a tourism brochure made it sound interesting. Ended up being dirty and not nearly worth the trouble. Skip this... and head down to the Red River and walk some of the trails in the summer.
It is a small area with a little bridge that goes over the water. There are I think 3 total pagodas. It is calming, but wish it was a little bigger.
This park has a nice playground that any child would love. There is a pond and a few small paths for walking. There are some shelters with tables for picnicking and lots of open space if you want to play sports, etc. The park is also used for weddings and provides a beautiful setting.
The Japanese Gardens in Sertoma Park are a nice, quiet spot. The playground looks pretty fun and there always seem to be kids there. The Japanese part of the park is actually quite small, but pretty. The bridges over the forks of the stream are nice and it's a great place for a walk, bike ride or to read a book.
