Outdoor Recreation & City Parks

ATHLETIC FIELD
Located at the foot of the Interstate Bridge on Grant Boulevard.
The Athletic Field features tennis and basketball courts, a skateboard park, volleyball courts, baseball and softball fields, restrooms, and parking. In the winter, the concession building becomes a warming house for the adjacent ice skating and hockey rinks that are open after school and weekends.

BEACH PARK AT HUNGRY POINT
Located on the west end of Main Street.
This park is situated on the Mississippi River with a large beach area. The park often hosts weddings and private romantic dinners in the park’s new Gazebo. Walking paths will wind you through the park, passing the picnic shelter with views of the marina. A campground with 48 seasonal sites and three transient sites is adjacent to the park with modern restrooms and showers.

BRUEGGER MEMORIAL PARK
Located on the west side of town on Gambia Avenue.
Approximately two acres in size, families will find a playground for children, picnic shelter, and picnic tables.

CANNON PARK
Located just off Hiawatha Drive East.
This park features a prominent WWI cannon from the early 1900s. The cannon was almost destroyed but, thanks to community members, was placed in the park and has become a landmark near the middle of town.

DENNIS PFEILSTICKER MEMORIAL PARK
Located off Hiawatha Drive East next to the city pool.
This park commemorates Dennis Pfeilsticker, a local ambulance emergency medical technician who served the citizens and the youth of Wabasha for many years. Using memorials, his family sponsored the playground equipment in his memory. Adjacent to the park is the city pool, which features three waterslides and a kiddie pool open early June through Labor Day Weekend. Great for any function.

In the middle of Kellogg’s downtown you will find a large, square block public park with lots of open space, a playground and basketball courts, and a large covered picnic area. Kellogg’s a great community to take the kids to play – and we’re small enough that we don’t have a stoplight anywhere in town!

The park features a large boat launch area, 16 seasonal docks, four transient docks, and an extra long dock handy for launching. A convenient walking bridge connects this park with Beach Park.

SCHMIDT PARK
Located on East Second Street.
Originally donated to the city in the early 1900s, later the park was abandoned. In recent years, the park was donated back to the city by Wabasha resident Paul Busch. Thanks to gracious donations from the community, the park was restored to its original look, featuring a fountain, walkway, entrance posts, antique lighting and flower gardens.

VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK
Located at the intersection of Hiawatha Drive East and Hwy 60.
