==Parks and recreation==
[[Glendalough State Park]] is located three miles from Battle Lake. The 1,924-acre area was designated as a State Park in 1991. At the heart of the park is Annie Battle Lake, a 335-acre "Heritage Fishery." There are hiking trails, lakes, and woods in the state park.  The property was a game farm during much of the 20th Century.  It was long owned by the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, and featured a large enclosure of exotic birds - including peacocks and Chukar Partridges.<ref name="City of Battle Lake Minnesota"/><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/glendalough/index.html|title= Glendalough State Park|publisher= Minnesota Department of Natural Resources|access-date= October 14, 2012}}</ref> The City of Battle Lake owns and operates three city parks: Lions Park, Halverson Park, and Sand Bay Park.
