Glacier Hills County Park

Glacier Hills County Park sits on 140 acres in the Village of Richfield, shaped by glacial activity more than 10,000 years ago into a landscape of kettles, kames, and eskers along roughly 1,200 feet of frontage on Friess Lake. The setting gives the park a mix of wooded trails, open lawn, and lakefront that suits both outdoor gatherings and sheltered events. For private events, the park's heated Hall accommodates up to 200 seated guests in a 57' x 73' space with a full bar area, walk-in cooler, dimmable lighting, flat-screen TVs, and an outdoor patio with a grill and firepit. Adjacent to the Hall, the Chapel seats up to 160 guests in a 31' x 82' shelter with pews, a center aisle running 70' to the altar, and an electronic organ, making it a fitting setting for ceremonies. Shelter #3, a smaller 23' x 41' structure seating 60, offers a simpler enclosed space with picnic tables, a grill, and a fire pit. Beyond its event spaces, the park offers swimming, fishing, and kayak and canoe rentals on Friess Lake, along with hiking trails, a playground, a lighted sledding hill, and basketball and sand volleyball courts for guests to enjoy before or after a gathering.
