Gaylord City Park is a city park in Gaylord, Minnesota, United States, on the south shore of Lake Titlow. First established in 1897, the park grounds contain a 1916 dance pavilion, 1940 bandshell, and a 1940 bridge built by the Works Progress Administration.[2] The historic core of the park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 for its local significance in the theme of entertainment/recreation.[3] It was nominated for its long-serving importance as a community gathering space, hosting concerts, festivals, sporting events, circuses, speeches, and family picnics.[2]

The park is part of the Gaylord City Park System and is overseen by the Park & Recreation Board of the city's Board of Directors.[4]
