Town Center Park (St. Michael)

Town Center Park burst onto the STMA park scene a few years ago, turning an empty patch of land into one of the most popular summer spots in St. Michael!

Located just outside the St. Michael City Center, this park is a destination in itself or an easy stop following a trip to Cub Foods, the library, church, or the nearby McDonald’s.

The park is clean and well-kept, with a large playground and plenty of green space for running around in. The playground itself is fun and creative, with some stellar features like a double zipline and a huge, climbable merry-go-round. But the biggest draw here, in my opinion, is the brand-new splash pad!

It’s “birthday season” in our house, which means my kids are buzzing with ideas about how to celebrate. Luckily, the STMA area has a huge variety of options when it comes to birthday party venues.

We’ve put together a list of 20+ great places to host your kid’s birthday party—whether you have an athlete or an artist, a nature lover or a ninja! All of these venues are within a 30-minute drive and are sorted loosely by distance from St. Michael-Albertville. (Prices listed are current as of October 2025.)

HealthSource Chiropractic of Albertville

When it comes to caring for our bodies, there is no single method or treatment plan that works for everyone. That’s why HealthSource of Albertville—which recently moved to a brand new facility across from Coborn’s—is committed to taking a holistic approach in the care of its patients from birth to adulthood.

I had the chance to sit down with Dr. Mike Wotschke to find out about what makes HealthSource unique in its approach to wellness and what they have to offer to families in St. Michael–Albertville.
