Prarie Park is a nice place to spend time with your family. It has everything here. There is a…read moreplayground, half basketball court, a skate ramp, baseball field, soccer field, sand volleyball court, splash pad, picnic tables all around, and covered areas to eat. There's portapotties all around the area, but no actual bathrooms with plumbing or anywhere to change. The splash pad is just water spraying from the ground, there are no fun water tables or anything. The playground is pretty nice and there is a smaller one for smaller kids as well. There is also a fairly big parking lot so finding space should be easy. The park is very nicely maintained, the grass is cut and there's pretty flowers planted everywhere. There's no graffiti on the playground and there's no garbage thrown around.

There are water things that shoot out of the ground in the splash pad. There is one bucket that dumps on you in the splash pad. There is a soccer field and a gagaball pit! There are also pickleball courts that come WITH SUPPLIES! (Balls and rackets.) There is a full-court for basketball! (Even though it doesn't come with a ball it is still fun to bring a ball!) There is a lot of open space to like throw a football or play a game! There are picnic tables and portapotties! The playground isn't the most fun playground, but because of everything else this is 4 stars!!

Orono Park has turned out as a key signature park for the Elk River community becoming one of the most active parks in the city's park system. The playground continues to be a popular attraction and an adjacent new splash pad opened in mid-July 2022. The splash pad is in a perfect loaction overlooking the expanded sandy beach and Lake Orono. Its a great addition to the park during the summer months. The seasonal restroom facility with four individual family restrooms can be used as a changing area for families with young children. It's in a perfect location right next to the splash pad and two sand volleyball courts with lighting, so that the courts can be used during the fall season. The skate park has been a huge hit getting used daily by all ages and skills. The four pickleball courts opened in September and gets used daily. Shade structures and windscreens will be added to the courts in 2023.
