Commuter Sports Outdoors Nature

Sitting on the north side of Minneapolis along I-35W, Blaine makes a nice, quiet hometown setting for folks who work in the Twin Cities but prefer an apartment in the suburbs. One of the city’s key landmarks is the National Sports Center, an enormous 650-acre complex that houses 50 full-sized soccer fields, a golf course, and the largest ice arena complex in the world.

Less-structured recreation is very popular here as well, with the large Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor and Carlos Avery State Wildlife Area just outside the city limits and several smaller public parks scattered around town.
