Augsburg College Athletic Facilities -- Riverside Park/West River Parkway

Riverside Park and the adjacent West River Parkway area are used by the Augsburg men's and women's cross country and track and field teams for its training. Riverside Park is part of the City of Minneapolis Parks system. Augsburg runs a cross country meet on a 5,000-meter course through the park each Labor Day weekend.

Riverside Park, a two-level park adjacent to the Mississippi River, is one of the most historic parks in the city of Minneapolis. According to the Park Board website, the park was purchased by the city in 1883, and the stone bathhouse was built in 1933.

Along the Mississippi River is West River Parkway, part of the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway. The parkway runs along a natural gorge of the Mississippi River, and provides a scenic space for training.
