BONUS: Sonja Madsen, a Willmar sculpture artist, created “Out and About”, a mural that is featured on the wall of the court. It features graphic human images doing outdoor activities like running, biking and swimming through graphic landscapes and connected by a graphic trail. Sonja feels that it ‘highlights the diversity of our community and the universal connection to nature and fitness.’

*The Fitness court was funded by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, the National Fitness Campaign and the Willmar Parks and Recreation Department.

While you’re there, walk across the street to learn about the Sperry House!
It was built in 1893 as Albert H and Jennie Sperry’s farm. As an early official of Willmar village, he developed the surrounding neighborhood known as “Sperryville” and gave it to the City for what is now Sperry Park.
