DIRECTIONS: Delano is on Highway 12 about 25 miles west of the Twin Cities; when you get into town you'll turn at the Legion Club stoplights on Bridge Ave. into downtown Delano (right when coming from the east, left when coming from the west); turn left at the first stopsign (River Street); turn left on River Street and in 4 blocks you'll be in middle of all the fun. Parking can be found off of River Street, on residential streets around the park, and at the Delano Elementary School (a short 4 block walk down the hill).
