Paarlberg Park
This beautiful 16 acre park is located in the southwest corner of town on Paxton Avenue near 172nd Place.
The park includes 2 softball fields, 2 full-sized soccer fields, a playground, portable toilets, a gravel jogging/walking path, and a pavilion.
The Paarlberg Historical Farm and Museum are nestled along Thorncreek at the west end of the park. This site is the inspiration for the movie and novel SO BIG by Edna Ferber. This park is host to the Annual Paarlberg Heritage Festival held on Labor day.
