Osseo Parks are Tobacco-Free
Osseo recently joined many other cities, counties, and districts that are tobacco-free. The City Council approved its Outdoor Parks and Recreational Facilities Tobacco-Free Policy at the June 13, 2011, Council meeting. This means there should be NO tobacco use of any kind in either Sipe Park or Boerboom Park in Osseo. Signs will be posted soon stating the parks are Tobacco-Free. See more information in the Policy Maker's Guide to Tobacco-Free Policies for Community Park Systems.
Boerboom Veterans Park
Located at Central Avenue and 4th Street in downtown Osseo, Henry J. Boerboom Veterans Memorial Park offers a bandshell where concerts and performances are held during the summer months, along with movies and music in the park each Tuesday evening throughout the summer. The park is shaded, has picnic tables, and is beautifully landscaped. Large monuments commemorate the names of residents who have served in several wars. Boerboom Park is directly east across the street from City Hall, 415 Central Avenue, Osseo.
Farmers Market

Osseo Farmers Market - Local vendors sell a wide range of fresh produce, baked goods, flowers and other goods. The Osseo Farmers Market is open during the summer season every Tuesday from 3:00 to 7:00 PM from July 10 to September 25 and is located on 5th Street NE off Central Avenue, just to the north of Boerboom Park, 416 Central Avenue.
If you have any questions regarding the Osseo Farmers Market or would like to be considered as a vendor, see the 2018 Season Market Guidelines and Application. For questions, call Karen at 763-425-2624, ext. 101 or email her at kbroden@ci.osseo.mn.us.
