South of the River Recreators (S.O.R.R.) Programs

We partner with the cities of Apple Valley, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville, Rosemount and Savage to offer unique opportunities for recreation. Activities take place in the S.O.R.R. cities. Age and residency requirements vary with each activity.

Grandparents, Grandkids & Seniors Day at Holz Farm

Seniors, grandparents and their grandkids are invited to experience the nostalgia of days gone by at the 1940's-era Holz Farm in Eagan. Activities will include a tractor hay ride, entertainment, family games and a picnic complete with roasted corn. The "Friends of The Farm" will offer walking tours of the farm and farmhouse while sharing education and cultural perspectives that appeal to a wide range of interests and ages. Held in August.

Ground Pounders Running Series

A variety of races offer everyone the chance to get involved. Six races are available in this series and you can earn points (and prizes) for each race in which you participate. Contact each city for race specifics.

Who Done It Hike

Play Sherlock Holmes by collecting clues, gathering information and solving mysteries--all while walking the trails at Ritter Farm Park in Lakeville, Minn. When the end is near and you think you have it solved, you'll get a chance to guess "who done it!" Pack a picnic lunch. Held in September. Coordinated by the City of Lakeville.
