Farm-themed fun at Sibley Park
The neighborhood's namesake, Sibley Park, is an extensive green space known for its sprawling garden beds, storybook farm-themed playground and animal farm. “There’s a lot of great things for young kids,” says Angie VanEman, co-owner of American Way Realty and life-long Mankato resident. “They have all kinds of animals — my son can go there and see peacocks, llamas, chickens and goats.” Residents can also fish at the pond or in the Minnesota and Blue Earth rivers that converge at the park. Hikers and cyclists can explore several loop trails, while anyone looking to host a party can check out the park’s gazebo or pavilion.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
