Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park is known for its natural beauty. Scenic wetlands and waterways, landscaped lawns and gardens, and acres of deciduous trees with their color-changing leaves serve as a beautiful backdrop for outdoor activities including hiking, biking, fishing, boating, and birdwatching. Their 18-hole golf course is environmentally friendly and offers a challenge for golfers at all levels. Community organizations offer tennis lessons, art classes, and yoga sessions in addition to hosting events such as movie nights and a summer concert series. The American Swedish Historical Museum has artifacts and archives celebrating Swedish and Scandinavian culture and is available to rent for celebrations and special events.
