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.

Gagnon also says subdivisions can tell the city the date of their party and the firemen and police will join.
