Hanover Parks & Recreation

We have a large park adjacent to the City Hall known as Settlers Park. This park has a picnic shelter, which is also available for rent for family events or other functions for a minimal charge. Settlers Park also offers a playground area, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, as well as picnic grills and tables. There are two ball fields on the premises.

There are two other city parks in Hanover. One is located on Meander Road, known as Pheasant Run Park. This park has two gazebos with picnic tables, grills, a small basketball court, and a playground area. Another residential park is located on the west side of the city, in the Hanover Hills development. Eagle View Park has a playground area, a gazebo with a picnic table as well as a sliding hill for use in winter.

Adjacent to the City Hall is the Hanover Athletic Association area. There are two ball fields and an ice skating rink with a warming house owned and coperated by the Hanover Athletic Association. In the summer the ice rink doubles as a skate board area.

Wright County’s Riverside Park is situated along the Crow River at the end of 8th Street and Riverview Road. It provides a quiet secluded picnic area with canoe access.

Wright County’s Beebe Lake Park is located just west of Hanover on County Road #34. It provides many recreational activities, with a swimming beach, play area, picnic areas as well as many other amenities. Hennepin County’s Crow Hassan Park Reserve lies along the Crow River in the eastern portion of the City.
