City Park, Cambridge, Minnesota

 The city of Cambridge in Minnesota is about an hour north of the Twin Cities. We stayed there for a bit and enjoyed the City Park on the west side of town. The park is next to the Rum River (which is a bit of false advertising) and has many fine features.

We were happy to discover the river had a sandy beach. It did not have stones for throwing in the river, so we worked on sandcastles instead.

It does have a beach!

A little too dry for sandcastling

The geocache Spock's Brain is located in the park. The container does indeed look like a brain! Though I suppose it might be mistaken for some other thing.

Brain or mop?

The weather was in the sixties when we visited. Snow had fallen a few days before and some mounds still hadn't melted.

The playground equipment was very nice. We even made a second trip to the park to enjoy it again.

Fun for all the little ones

Hanging out

The park has a frisbee golf course. We tried that out as a group. Even though there were only nine holes, we had eighteen holes' worth of fun.
