Here are some of the things we have enjoyed…

Our neighbors are amazing. We have a very active block captain who helps to ensure that everyone knows everyone else. We are very close friends with several of the families on the block. Our in-home daycare is another family just 2 blocks away.
Sibley Community Center, free ice skating all winter. Classes (tumbling), inexpensive community events (Pancake breakfast, movies in the park, cookouts). Amazing soccer games on the weekends. The playground is fine but all due for an update in the next year.
Lake Hiawatha splash pad and party room. Perfect for a quick walk on a pretty day
Running the ‘loop’ in the Sibley meadow and playing Frisbee/picnicking in the green space
The newly renovated Roosevelt library
Shops at 42nd and 38th are almost all you’d ever need: Buster’s gastropub has amazing beer flights and tasty food. A Baker’s Wife has the best donut holes (fresh and hot!) we’ve ever had. The Angry Catfish coffeeshop and bike store will get you and your ride up and going. We make weekly trips to Ace Hardware, run almost entirely by one family. Dr. Amos is an incredible Vet. Bill’s Chinese is some of the best take-out we’ve had.
Bike lane on 40th Ave or go a few blocks south to the Parkway or north to the Midtown Greenway
