Repurposed, Restored, Reimagined

     These are the words you see when you drive up to the Modern Barnyard building. In it you will find tons of treasures!! The building actually is designed to look like a barn.

     You will find furniture...

     signage...

     kitchen items...

     and so much more!! It will take you awhile to wander through the store and check out all of the wonderful repurposed,restored and reimagined home decor and gift items.

     The Modern Barnyard is open every day of the week. We were told that new items arrive all the time so you'll want to go back often. I know we will!

     They are located at 7285 Co Rd 75, Waite Park. (St.Cloud's neighbor city). 320-253-8033

Disc Golf Closer to Home

      Right in the middle of St.Cloud we have our own disc golf course. It is the Calvary Hill Park course. It is free to the public.

     This course is fairly wide open with no water hazards. It is really in a park like setting.

     There are a few holes that are in the woods or on the edge of the woods.

     If after a game of golf you still have some energy there are pickle ball courts right across the street.

      Next to the pickleball courts is a playground and there is a basketball court (that is sometimes used as a parking lot for pickle ball players.) The disc golf course has its own parking lot.

     I have never played this course but the times that I have driven by it there didn't seem to be too many people playing. It should be easy to get on the course without too much waiting.

Hidden Lake Park

     Just a few miles outside of Saint Cloud is a lovely park called Hidden Lake Park located at  43rd Ave., St. Augusta. It is also home to the Augusta Disc Golf Course. 

    

      There are 18 holes of golf. Some holes are wide open but many are in wooded areas. A few require you to shoot over water--Hidden Lake. It is free to play, just bring your own discs.

      If disc golfing is not for you that's ok. This park has lots of paved trails through the woods. Many of the trees are really old and majestic! The path is quite flat but there are some small hills.

     After about a half mile walk you come to a covered picnic shelter. This would be an ideal spot for a quiet meal or gathering space.

     There are also benches along the way to sit and contemplate nature's beauty or just rest your feet awhile.

        There is also a large shelter which holds 150, has handicapped accessible restrooms, 18 picnic tables, grills and electric outlets. Contact the St.Augusta City Office at 320-654-0387 if you want to rent the shelter.

      You will also find a Volleyball court, basketball court and playground for the kids. 

     Park hours are 8 am to 9 pm. Pets must be on a leash and there is no swimming in this lake.
