Frenzel Park

Locals know Frenzel Park is one of those spots that actually delivers for a wide age range — toddlers through older kids around 11 all seem to find something to keep them busy. The equipment is solid and well-maintained, which isn’t something you can say about every small-town park in Minnesota. There are restrooms on-site and a good stretch of open grass for kids who just need to run, plus it draws enough families that it has a real social scene going on most weekends. If you’re new to Arlington and looking for a reliable place to let the kids loose, this is the one people keep coming back to.
