In
the late 1970's and early 1980's, a small group of people became
very involved with Oxbow Park. These folks shared a common love of
the outdoors and nature, and took advantage of all that this
relatively new county park had to offer. Almost immediately, these
pioneers had a vision for how they could influence, support and
provide services for the park.
The New Wildcat Cam is finally live after several months work. The
camera was donated in memory of Steve J. Orris by his parents.

The idea of a new park for Olmsted County was fostered by the Olmsted County Park Board and residents of the park area. The initial 465 acres of land were purchased in 1967.
The Oxbow Park Zollman Zoo displays only native Minnesota wildlife. Park staff and Friends members are proud to house these animals in exhibits that are humane and fiscally prudent, but also stimulate lifelong interest and learning in our visitors. Our "Wildcat Exhibit" has been completed and the cats are on display for your enjoyment.
