The Rex Macbeth River Trail runs along the west side of the Minnesota River from Riverview Park near the intersections of US 169 and Belgrade Avenue in North Mankato and terminates at Kiwanis Park in the North.
Built in 1947, South Avenue Park is one of the smallest and oldest parks in North Mankato. This quaint space in lower North offers a playground and is right around the corner from the Taylor Library.
