Spring is Coming!

Posted Mar 29, 2009 by Lara

For those of you new to the area within the last 8 months, I promise you Duluth does have a Spring Season.  In fact Duluth has 4 seasons and Spring is one of my favorites.  In a couple weeks, we will be able to go outside with a simple fleece zip up or hoodie and sneakers instead of mukluks.  The grass will start to turn green and trees will bear beautiful green leaves. This new environment begs me to come out and play.

I'm not an extremely active person, but I love to get out on a good day and do a short run/walk.  I also love to go to the many city parks we have in the Duluth area.  Did you know the city of Duluth owns and maintains over 11,000 acres of parks and facilities?  Click here for more on the Parks & Rec department.

In 2002, my husband and I were looking for a park to get married in.  I protested an outdoor wedding knowing how unpredictable Duluth's weather can be, but eventually gave in because it was the most inexpesive option -and that was appealing to me!  Our first choice of park to "tie the knot" in was Enger Tower.  Beautiful park with lots of trees, gardens, and parking.  But alas, the space was booked.  The woman over the phone at Parks & Rec suggested Chamber's Grove.  I have lived in Duluth my whole life and had no idea what she was talking about.  After visiting once our decision was made.  It is a gorgeous park!
