At Tuesday night’s Fergus Falls City Council meeting the council took unanimous action to authorize a new name for NP Park.

Lake Region Healthcare is partnering with the city, and will cover the cost of changing the signs from NP Park to Dr. Allen Magnuson Park.
The city acquired the property from Northern Pacific Railroad back in the 40’s for $1.
