Compact riverside park with mature trees, open lawns, walkways and a prominent Leif Erikson statue — good for intimate landscape, waterscape and monument shots. Best at golden hour for warm light on the statue and river reflections; fall for colorful foliage and spring for blooms. Easily accessible via Virginia St with on-street parking and paved paths (wheelchair friendly). No entry fee; weekdays and early mornings minimize crowds. Variable Midwestern weather — bring layers and insect repellent
