Kids playing at Gomsrud Park

Gomsrud Park

Gomsrud Park is the perfect spot to start your family friendly adventure day! This popular park features an inclusive playground that is perfect for all ages and abilities. Near the playground is fishing, a beach, basketball, volleyball and more. It was fun to watch all the boaters getting out on the water to enjoy a Minnesota summer!

Pro Tip: Be sure to play at BOTH playgrounds

Mini-Golf Course

Fairmont has one of the cutest mini-golf courses. Local businesses around town donated a “hole” to promote local businesses. There are 18 holes in total. You can “check out” clubs and golf balls at local businesses: Martin County Library, Graffiti Corner, Fairmont Aquatic Park, Fairmont CER, Best Western, and Sommer Outdoors. This is such a neat way to combine a fun activity and businesses can give back to the community.

Pro Tip: Take time to look at each of the well put together holes

Fairmont Aquatic Park

Complete your family adventure day with a trip to the local aquatic park. I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the Aquatic Park for a small town. There was so much to do here, you could easily spend an entire day and never get bored. From the awesome waterslides, ropes course, climbing wall, diving boards and zero entry area for the littles, this place has it all!

Meet the visitor

Hello! I am Heidi and I absolutely LOVE planning outings around the Twin Cities and Suburbs. We live in the East Metro and are out exploring as much as possible, between multiple sports and activities schedules. Not everyone has time to travel on weekends or the means to vacation so my goal is to help families like ours create some fun local adventures!
