Locke County Park is part of the Anoka County Park system. Family-friendly amenities include a playground, hiking and biking trails and space to picnic. Restrooms and a picnic pavilion are found near the parking lot and playground. A second pavilion is located along the paved trail.
Vehicle permits are required at all Anoka County Parks. Purchase an annual permit for $30 and you can also enter Washington County Parks with the same permit.
7 Ideas for family fun at Locke County Park
- Have a picnic while the kids play on the playground.
- Hike the Locke County Park Loop. The full loop is slightly more than a mile and a half around. The south portion of the loop is not paved.
- Go for a family bike ride
- Bring the family dog. This park has an off-leash dog park. You do not need any special permits, but your dog needs to be licensed and vaccinated.
- Explore Rice Creek. There are plenty of places to get close to the water. Maybe bring pond dipping equipment to see what you can find.
- Go bird watching. Anoka County suggests looking for brown thrashers and brown creepers.
- Look for other wildlife. Go in the early mornings or early evenings for a chance to see deer. And Anoka County also tell us that mink live in this park.
