Flashback: Here's what you told us are the best parks in the metro:
Raccoon River Park: "There is something there for everyone: Dog park, playground, boat rentals, archery, miles of paths and an ever-changing variety of birds." — Jill Harris
Union Park: "Lots of green space for walking, a carousel for families, good location next to bike trails and the marina." — Jeff Meyer, DSM
Easter Lake: "It feels like Grays Lake's sister. I love the different picnic areas, the 4-mile-long loop, the views of the water, the North Shore beach [area] and the covered bridge." — Erin Keeffer, DSM
