About the Park:
In November of 1910, the park was given to the City of Minneapolis by Israel and Mary Markley. To receive the gift, the City of Minneapolis had to agree to name the park Markley Grove Park, keep the land as a public park, and not remove any trees.
The Park sits across the road from the town's ball fields and fairgrounds and has the Solomon River running beside it.
The park is home to a newly renovated pool and pool house and various play equipment such as slides and swings. Recently a paved walking/biking trail and a gazebo were installed.
During the months of April through September public restrooms are available.
