Memorial Park - Upper Quarry - City park in Red Wing - , USA

The Upper Quarry, the first stop on the trail leading up to Memorial Park, is a beautiful and interesting place. The geologist in the family will find plenty of sandstone to examine and study, the hiker will love the trails, and the bird watcher will see lots of native species to photograph. The quarry has picnic tables which makes this stop great for an afternoon meal with the family or a date night.

Great spot. Views of the Mississippi River valley, picnic shelter, tables, and a hiking trail. Informative kiosks with info about the river and the history of the area. Parking for about 8 cars, outhouses on site, no running water in the park. Can be accessed by the road in the summer and by walking in the winter while the road is closed.

We visit Red Wing regularly to see family but I didn't know about Memorial Park until recently. It is definitely a must visit! It was easy to book a reservation of the pavilion for our family gathering through email - the website reservation process was kind of confusing so I just contacted the email listed. It's a great spot for a picnic, hiking, enjoying the views. Interesting tidbits of history are posted throughout the Upper Quarry where we had our gathering. I am looking forward to going back in the future to enjoy the massive fire pit.

Great picnic spot. Beautiful view and an outhouse for rest room needs.

One of our favorite spots in Red Wing. The views of Red Wing and the Mississippi River are always spectacular.

Amazing Spot to meditate while sunset 🌅

Nice view and good Frisbee golfing. Don't forget to check out the cave. There's a trail behind the stone railing and to the right that leads to it. Be warned: very steep trail.

Great place to visit and view wonderful Fall colors! The overlook of the river valley and Red Wing is quite beautiful and relieving. Although we didn't play, a nice disc golf course is available.
