Volga City Park

Plans for the Volga City Park were carried out in 1907 when the first trees were planted on the west edge of Volga. Since then, land has been donated and the park has grown to include an old rural schoolhouse, a log house built in 1872, barred cells from the original Volga jailhouse, a display of antique machinery, and the Brookings County Museum. But the Volga City Park is not just for historians! The park sports picnic shelters, volleyball court, horse-shoe pits, playground equipment and a beautiful swimming pool and bathhouse.

Brookings County Museum

Built in 1969, the Brookings County Museum occupies a stone building on the east edge of the Volga City Park. The museum is supported by city and county funds as well as private donations. It contains items from throughout Brookings County’s days of early settlement in the 1800’s.

Meadow Creek Golf Course

The Meadow Creek Golf Course is located on the southeast edge of Volga. The new golf course is a place which not only provides a great game of golf, but it also enhances the natural beauty and serenity found in this area. From its native wetlands to natural prairie topography, Meadow Creek Golf Course is a place for nature lovers as well as the avid golfer! (605) 627-5444.
