With over 500 acres of city parkland and more than 80 miles of trails, Lake Elmo features an extensive park <br />and trail system for residents and visitors to enjoy and explore. Our park and trail system provides a diverse <br />range of recreational opportunities, including organized sports, casual play, nature appreciation, hiking, <br />cross-country skiing, horseback riding, picnicking, relaxation, and many other outdoor activities. <br />Each park offers high-quality recreational facilities and open spaces for the community to enjoy while <br />preserving the history, setting, character, and unique features that make each park special. We are excited <br />to highlight one of Lake Elmo Park's parks biweekly, inviting our community to learn about and appreciate <br />the contributions these parks make to our growing and thriving community. <br />Stonegate Park <br />This 6.04-acre neighborhood park, located at 750 Jasmine Ave. N. <br />features a playset, swing set, picnic tables, benches, a ball field, a <br />bike and walking trail, a grill, and trash bins. <br />Visit Stonegate Park or visit LakeElmo.gov to learn more about all <br />our parks. <br />LIFE IN LAKE ELMO <br />Buckthorn Removal Festival Saturday, Oct. 25 <br />Saturday, October 25, is our annual Buckthorn Removal Festival. We <br />start registering volunteers at 9 a.m. and begin work around 9:30 <br />a.m., with lunch served at noon. <br />This festival, held every October, is part of our larger Buckthorn <br />Removal and Restoration project, which aims to remove invasive <br />buckthorn throughout Sunfish Lake Park and restore native trees and <br />plants. <br />The event invites visitors to help remove buckthorn, and we welcome <br />groups such as Boy Scout Troops, Girl Scout Troops, schools, <br />families, and more to compete to see who can clear the most in one <br />morning. <br />It’s a friendly competition; the true winners are the native trees in <br />Sunfish Lake Park. In addition to clearing buckthorn, the festival <br />features activities, presentations, and food. It’s free and open to <br />everyone.
