Guide to Como Regional Park
Discover this four-season community hub that blends natural beauty and historic charm with recreational attractions to create the ultimate urban oasis.

A Four-Season Oasis
For over 100 years, Como Regional Park has served as an outdoor haven for the area's urban population. Carrying out the vision of Frederick Nussbaumer, the Superintendent of the Parks from 1891 to 1922, the park remains as a place where a variety of free and low-cost recreational activities are accessible to the community. The park we know, and love today is host to an incredible collection of seasonal and year-round attractions including a zoo & conservatory, swimming pool, ski hill, a lake, amusement park, and more.
