Land of Memories Park

Land of Memories Park is a recreation and campground facility along the Minnesota River in Mankato with expansive green spaces, walking trails, sports fields, and a disc golf course. The grounds are organized to accommodate different types of outdoor activities side by side, allowing visitors to choose between relaxation and active recreation.

The grounds reflect the long history of the region shaped by indigenous cultures and early European settlers who both influenced the landscape. The park honors this shared past through its design and serves as a reminder of the different peoples who have inhabited this area.

The park hosts major community events throughout the year, including the annual Kiwanis Cookout and seasonal Powwow celebrations that bring residents together. These gatherings reflect how the space functions as a social hub where people celebrate shared traditions and local culture.

The park opens daily from 5 AM to 10 PM, with most areas freely accessible while an indoor pavilion is available for reservation. Visitors should plan their activities according to operating hours, as the park is not accessible outside these times.

The park provides launch points directly on the Minnesota River for boats, canoes, and kayaks that are not commonly found elsewhere in the area. These water access points make it an important starting location for paddling activities in the region.
