Located in the heart of Wadena's business district, Burlington Northern Park surrounds The Depot, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is perhaps the most valued spot in the community and is the stage for many summer activities that bring the community together. Rotary Corn & Chicken Feed and the Lion's Barbecue help to celebrate and reinforce our friendly, close knit community right in the heart of Minnesota. The park includes a band shell, picnic area, benches and flowers.
