There are little hidden gems in Leistikow Park in Grafton, North Dakota. They call them cabins. I…read moreprefer "tiny houses," for more cache. There are 9 in a row with varying amenities. Some don't have bathrooms. Um.... We stayed in #6, complete with bathroom, nice shower, comfy bed, kitchenette with double sink, microwave, mini fridge, room darkening shades, little porch that fits two sports chairs. The only odd thing is the heavy-duty wood ladder in the middle of the room. I call it a "nose breaker." Come in from bright outside and bonk. It goes to a very small loft - maybe for luggage, or worse, kids or someone to sleep? I wouldn't let kids sleep up there for fear of them falling down/out in the night and managing someone who had to go potty. They could take that down and close up the loft and be just fine. The place is big enough to store luggage and supplies. Other than that, beautiful setting nestled up against the Park River with a nice trail along it, flower gardens in the park and the big city pool.

Love this hockey rink. My husband grew up nearby and comes home every once and a while to play in a…read morehockey pick-up league. Recently, we were here for a hockey benefit. The concession stand is top notch...don't pass up the Tortilla Soup or their hot dogs. Sounds weird, but they do things right! The small town feel is a live and well here, the staff is professional and friendly. They graciously donated ice time toward the cancer benefit we attended. Their facilities are up to date and clean. My girls (1 year and 3 years) had a great time playing together in the stands, visiting concessions and feeling right at home here. Just a top notch place to watch a local hockey game.

Like most little towns in North Dakota, and across this country, Pisek as a little Central Park…read morethat is the product of a community's dedication to their kids. A town effort to raise funds in 2009 contributed to new playground equipment, restroom facilities, and refurbishing the gazebo and covered picnic facilities. Previous efforts in 1975 made the park possible. There are still some vestiges of the mid 70s additions to the park, like the monkey bars and the carousel... But everything is fun. The park is fenced to keep little ones off the roadways that run through town. Like most of North Dakota, there are mosquitos here, so spray in a little deet, and enjoy the tranquility. Shade trees, grass that doesn't need watering, and the occasional toad hopping around about sums up the experience.
