Huber Park is a 24-acre park located along the Minnesota River in downtown Shakopee. Nestles between the river and the vibrant downtown is a unique and beautiful site for a wedding, special event, church service, theatrical production, concert or community/family gathering. The park's trail system connects to the Minnesota Valley State Trail with access to Chaska, Bloomington, Louisville Swamp and the Minnesota River Bottoms recreation areas.
Historically, Huber Park was known as Recreation Park until 1962, when it was named after Edward J. Huber, president of the First National Bank in Shakopee. He spearheaded the project of erecting the Scout cabin in the park (later torn down after several floods), and he was very involved with tree planting and adding other facilities to the park.
