Neighborhood parks with recreation for every season
No parks are within the neighborhood boundaries, but some are still within walking distance. Dorothy Mary Park, for example, is heavily wooded and features walking trails. In the fall, leaves turn vibrant red and yellow, and the paths seem to glow golden when the sun shines through. The terrain is diverse, so folks can take a leisurely nature walk or a full-on hike depending on preference. North Lions Park spans 12-acres and has athletic fields and a playground for the warmer months, and an outdoor ice-skating rink and sledding hill for the winter months. Broadway Park has very little parking, as it’s meant for neighbors to walk to and enjoy, and features a picnic shelter, basketball court and open green space.

Family-run bakery and long-time local Chinese restaurant in Dorothy Mary Park
Within the neighborhood, there’s a Speedway gas station and a convenience store, as well as Cake Box, a family-run bakery. It sells cupcakes, cookies, cakes and seasonal specialties, plus custom cake orders. The B-Line Market is a local grocery store option that’s more well-stocked than its small size might suggest. For additional grocery needs, Target is about a mile away and Hy-Vee is 3 miles away. Loma Bonita, a Mexican grocery store and bakery, sells both groceries and some hot food items, like tacos and burritos, and egg dishes for breakfast. Or on nights when locals don’t feel like cooking, Jin’s Chow Mein is a nearby Chinese restaurant that’s been around since 1958. It serves classics like noodles, chow mein, plus a variety of chicken, pork and shrimp entrees. Carmack says one of the advantages to this neighborhood is being closer to additional retail and restaurants in nearby Maple Grove.
