Larson Park

If you’re going to pick one park in Brookings to spend an afternoon, this is probably it. The playground here isn’t your standard equipment — it’s got enough going on that older kids (and honestly, adults) actually stick around and use it. Disc golfers know this spot well thanks to a solid course with real tree cover and some elevation that keeps it interesting. Throw in a bike track, walking path, basketball court, and a big open grass field, and there’s genuinely something for everyone in the family. Clean restrooms and shaded picnic tables make it easy to just settle in for a few hours.
