Orchard Trail's neighborhood and regional parks
Brooklyn Park designed its neighborhoods and subdivisions so that residents are always just around the corner from a park. In the center of the neighborhood, houses back up to Orchard Trail Park and its playground, half basketball court and baseball diamond. Rush Creek Regional Trail is an almost 10-mile walking and biking trail stretching from Elm Creek Park Reserve to Mississippi Gateway Regional Park. “It’s a paved trail so it goes through the woods, and it has off-site stuff so you can do off-trail biking and cross-country skiing,” says Jeffrey Gagnon, a real estate agent with J.C. Gagnon Realty and a decadeslong resident of Brooklyn Park. “They keep them plowed over the winter.” A few blocks from the neighborhood, Mississippi Gateway Regional Park offers additional hiking and biking along the river, plus plenty of space to fish and observe the wildlife.
Residents can bike the Rush Creek Regional Trail which connects to nearby parks.
Families can enjoy fishing together along the shoreline at Mississippi Gateway Park.

Driving around Brooklyn Park and Minneapolis
Compared to some neighborhoods in the area, Orchard Trail is farther from the major thoroughfares and highways that run through northern Brooklyn Park, adding to the neighborhood’s quiet, residential feel, but also leading to fewer public transit options. Downtown Minneapolis is about 15 miles south. Minnesota Medical Center is about 7 miles, and Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is about 28.
Celebrations and festivals close to home
The Geeta Ashram Temple offers celebrations throughout the year for the various Hindu festivals, including Holi in March and Diwali in October. “Some of the developments will have their own little National Night Out thing, where people will bring out their grills and block off the street,” Gagnon says. Gagnon also says subdivisions can tell the city the date of their party and the firemen and police will join.
Nearby American and Mexican restaurants
Just north of the neighborhood, 5-8 Grill and Bar was originally founded as a speakeasy. Today, the local chain serves American fare like sandwiches, wings and burgers, including their staple, the Juicy Lucy, a burger with melted cheese in the center of the patty. Also in the area, El Toro Mexican Restaurant’s walls are covered with murals. For groceries, Cub is about 2 miles, and Hy-Vee is a mile more.
