Like several parks in Brooklyn Park, City Park is a neighborhood park surrounded by residential homes. This 3-acre park has inlets on 79th Avenue and Girard Avenue, but they may be hard to spot if you are not familiar with the neighborhood. Family-friendly amenities include a playground and green space with room for picnicking.
