The park has a play area that is great for kids of just about all ages. There are multiple levels, paths, play sets and areas for the kids to play. The paths are made from a rubbery material that makes it road rash free if a child would fall.There are great views of the lake, picnic tables, covered areas with tables and plenty of places to hike and explore. We actually ended up having our fall family photos done here and they turned out great.There are also portable bathrooms located near the kids park as well. They came in very handy as our kids played here for hours since there was so much to do.

A beautiful wooded park with walking trails, outdoor free exercise classes, play equipment for the kiddos and picnic tables. Wonderful place to relax with friends and burn off some stress and the best part.....you can forget about the worlds problems and NOT wear a mask!!! So worth the trip!

Beautiful place to walk. Well kept trails with views of the lake. Peaceful as well!

This is a great place to take your dog they do have to be on leash but it feels very secluded its about 2.2 mi around the lake its covered in deep woods and has a few bridges. Its not as busy as some of the other parks or lakes you might go to in the area so definitely feels more like your own. Highly encourage people to visit it at least once.

Gorgeous walking trails, open fields, outdoor amphitheater, archery, off-leash dog park, tennis courts, soccer field, kids playground, plentiful parking.

What a great park right by Flying Cloud airfield. Plenty of free parking, space to social distance, and playground equipment for kids to wear themselves out on. Picturesque setting. And fun for the family.

Horrible place to walk in Summer. Would never go again. They could do a better job with mosquito control. They should fumigate this area or close it down. Whats up with maintenance of public areas and who says that mosquito control has to be political thing. Just do it. Do you want malaria or dengue fever to start in EP? What are you waiting for? Is anybody listening?

There is so much space to roam around in! The view is beautiful, especially in fall. The playground is very fun for my brothers!

Very nice park and trails around it for walking or biking.If you want a little extra exercise try walking or running up the sliding hill a few times!

This is a beautiful place for an Off Leash area for your pooch. Trails that wind into the woods with enough clearing for one to walk through. Water jugs that owners will walk up the hill to fill so that dogs can have fresh water in the bowls near the picnic table. There are bins that store bags to clean up after your dog, a bin full of tennis balls, and one for apparent lost and found items. There are steps in the woods and hills for the dogs to run around and explore. Meet other pet owners.

What an amazing park! We just discovered this one today ~ and I love all the different levels, great equipment, and easy to use for multiple ages.We didnt get to use the food truck, but Im attaching the poster for it (with times listed), because how smart is that? Great idea for the families that are there for almost two hours like we were!Bonus points, for the shaded tables, the soft terrain (boy do I despise wood chips! ), and the easily accessed pathway which Im hoping to check out next time :)MOMS Club(R) of Shakopee and Prior Lake President,- Katharina

Beautiful park with multiple amenities. I visit often to play the nine-hole disc golf course. Good beginner/intermediate course with some light technical holes. Trees, elevation, dog legs.

The park was clean and there were two attendants taking out the trash. Paths are clear and grass is mower. Great spot!

Great park with plenty of walking trails, picnic tables, open fields, large playground, amphitheatre, pickleball courts, a tennis court, basketball court, sand volleyball pit, and a disc golf course. Love coming here with groups of all sizes

Gorgeous 2.6 mile paved path around a lake with connections to other trails. There is a boat launch nearby and Port o potties at the parking lots. Looks like there is a cross country ski course for the winter too! I loved it so much I came three times in one week.

Lots of space for the dogs to play and do their own thing. Wading into the water was fun for my water loving pup. Also, it there are more pathways in the off leash area than you will usually find. We had a great time here.

Very pretty park and trail around it. Lots of space and beautiful trees!

Walking path leads around lake, amphitheatre, park, and 9 hole disc golf course. I really enjoy this area.

The basketball court is new! The kids loved it. Theres tennis courts too and a nice trail! So calming!

Love getting questioned at the dog park by the Eden prairie Police about a report that someones dog was running to close to other peoples dogs. Apparently the dog was having fun playing Chase but it scared an honor to the point of sending the police album question everybody about whose dog this might be...Classic EP police situation and yes they used intimidation and threats from the start...As the police began to leave I noticed 3 children crying because of confusion on why mom or dad were being bad...Good job guys, Great community work!

First time visiting the disc golf course, it was a little tricky to find...Google Maps brought me to the dog park. The course layout itself was also a little confusing, but one round is it al it took to figure it out. The course was in good shape, and was challenging even from the amateur tee pads. I went early in the morning on a weekday, and had the course to myself. I will definitely frequent this course.

Pretty good. i could see many fellow mini-sotahns enjoying the park bandshell etc. Today they were doing some dancing with drumsticks as a group rythm rhythm exercise me i grabbed a picnic table and had the family meet via shared location works pretty good

Lots of trails and a clean space. The mosquitos are terrible on the paths in the woods, though. Literal clouds of them. Maybe we just got there at a bad time on a bad day. Otherwise, the park is great!

Nice place for a walk, and decent playground for the kiddos. Surprisingly quiet for how close to the airport it is.

Ok so this park has some great features, but in the summer, theres like 300,000 mosquitoes that attack you as soon as you go into the wooded path area. I really want to love this park, but I just cant in the summer

One of the better parks I’ve been to in a while. I like the layout and the unique options, like frisbee golf! Nice and clean park.

Awesome, quick 9 basket disc golf course. Play twice or go around the corner to Hennepin Tech for a more wide open course.

Nice park with great play area for children. Popular during the weekdays.Ive played disc golf here a few times too. Its a decent course with some good hills for exercise. There is a also an amphitheater that holds performances. Currently part of the park is under construction, but it doesnt limit the use of any of the other facilities.

Great trails for walking , biking and running.. nice play ground for kids . walking around trials is pleasant with bird watching if you are lucky and takes you into the nature.

Somebody is missing this adorable pet ️. Most friendly and sweet parakeet ever.

Kids park is very good

Went disc golfing, nice little course (9), some interesting twists and turns without major fear of losing your disc. Wish people would use the garbage cans more, but otherwise its nicely kept.

I miss the old slides. And it is still a great park, plenty of room for picnics, beautiful trail around the lake, plus lots of other things like frisbee golf, tennis courts, music in the park and other events. Nice clean lake and nature areas.

Well kept, gradual age progression of equipment, both the 2yr and 5yr old loved it.

Haven’t seen this is the summer yet, but I came with my family here in the winter to go sledding. It’s really a great sledding hill! Not too steep. Long enough, but no too long. I’d assume good for families with kids of all ages. Will definitely be back.

Disc golf park - its a great old school park. Mostly under 300. Its great for side arm flicks or bring another mid-range, understable disc. Theres been a huge clearing of trees on one and two as of spring 2020. The rest plays like it has since early aughts eh. Caution the over-toss on five - tis only one fifty. Plant it.

Nice little 9 hole disc golf course!Not too much in the way of long holes but nice for a few ace runs.

Beautiful park with lots of different activities: tennis, frisbee golf, walking paths, playground, amphitheatre, picnic tables and nature center.

Disc golf course well maintained and challenging at the same time

They destroyed the disc golf course. Cut down so many trees and now its super easy to lose a disc. Was way better a few years ago.

Only here for disc golf but very nice 9 hole course!

Nice park with amphitheater, playground, tennis courts, volleyball courts and disc golf. Plenty of trails with maps.

Excellent park. Lots of activities and boat launch

Very nice pickleball courts. An okay volleyball court, and wonderful bike takes

Nice flat running loop around the lake.Challenging hill climbs if you want.Plenty of canopy overhead.

Went to the sledding hill for the first time. The hill is great. There is a warming house at the top. The hill isnt terribly steep, but you pick up a ton of speed before its done. It is a long walk back up to the top. Your kids will wear out quickly climbing back to the top

The trails are great but the bathroom outhouse is disgusting!! No TP and needs serious cleaning!!!

Fun place for quick round of disc golf

Nice 9 hole frisbee golf coarse

The city hosts super cool concerts and plays in the summer and in the winter staring has the best sledding hill in the city!

Good park and ampi theater

Nice course for disc golfing.

Beat pickle ball courts around. Fun disc golf. Tremendous park.

Nice disc golf course.

Concert was great. Beautiful venue.

5 stars right off the bat. Great landscaping, great paved trails, good picnic areas, great lake overview, great kids play area and what not.

Staring Lake Park is a great place to get out and enjoy nature. The views of the lake are lovely, its quiet and and there are plenty of places to sit and read or have a picnic. There is also a lot of wildlife, deer, geese, ducks, beavers. You can also play frisbee golf, go skiing, enjoy the amphitheater during the summer or have the kids go play in the playground or do sledding in the winter.

Great new (resurfaced in 2019) tennis court. Nice atmosphere. Only has one court, though (or is it 2?) Great new Pickleball courts (many) as well.

Great hiking trails, year round activities

Beautiful place.

Nice place for a walk or a bike ride.

We go disc golfing here a lot. Nice 9 hole course that is free to play. Usually not super busy, never had to wait too long. Ive always wanted to check out an event at the amphitheater, looks like a nice relaxing outdoor space.

A really fantastic park with many amazing facilities. The park goes all the way around the lake and has a couple of playgrounds miles of well maintained trails, places to fish, a basketball court, a sledding hill, an amphitheater, a soccer field as well as other facilities I have yet to discover as I was not able to explore the whole park while I was here. This park has something for everyone and is well worth checking out.

It was very fun for sledding, my daughter hit a pol thats was holding up a net. It was very nice overall!

Excellent place to play with kids

Love this park! Fun for all ages and great walking paths.

I love this park. It has great tails and a nice soccer field that is great for flying kites. There is often times a healthy food truck here and they have an amphitheater there where they do free productions of plays from community theaters.

Pretty alright.

It was awesome exp be part of snow carniwal, well arranged. Thanks for all the efforts.

Our first date was here August 1988. Walked around Staring Lake, Eden Prairie. Memories. ️ Married 32-years this fall.

We come here whenever we are in town. The kids area is a 10/10. Very challenging, safe and fun. They have done a great job with this multi-level playground. The path around the lake is well maintained for walking and biking. They also have ballfields and an outdoor theatre. During winter there is an epic slide hill here.

Nice place for a long walk

Staring Lake is great place to enjoy nature. I enjoy riding around on my bicycle enjoying the woods.

One Awesome Play Grounds & Trails!

Beautiful Disc Golf course

What an impressive park! A ton of space with lots to do. Very well maintained!

This is a great place to have fun! I know people who go here every few days to run. The atmosphere is really calm

Awesome experience for kids

Lots of people everywhere, it was good

Great play area for kids. There are kids playing almost every evening making it a nice social spot for the kids.

Great large park with many things to do. Usually well-kept and not too busy, unless theres one of many events happening that day.Theres tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball and softball diamonds, pickleball courts, a dog park, a reservable picnic pavilion, an archery range, a disc golf course, an amphitheatre, a playground... Not to mention the paved trail around the lake, about 2 miles for a loop. And in the winter, theres a skating rink and sledding hill too. Possibly the best park around.

Walking path around the lake and free outdoor concerts.

Great location. I just wish there was more parking. I went there for an event. I love the space though.

Park for kids and free nine hole disc golf course.

Been going to this park since I was about 5-6 years old and they continually update it.They have:- horseshoe pits- baseball and soccer fields- expanded/updated their Frisbee Golf course- a 2 mile paved loop around the lake- it has cross country ski trails in the winter- bandstand area for community eventsMost recently they updated their playground area and made age specific sections. They are currently updating their pavilion/picnic area. 5/15/19

Nice little 9 hole disc golf course. Havent experienced much outside of that but the park seems relatively clean and well kept.

Trail is so good and calm... And if your are lucky you will see some wild animals like deer, fox....

This is a nice new park, but there are four distinct areas and as a parent, it was hard to see my 2 kids at all times. There are two upper areas and two lower areas with a spot to sit in the upper middle. When at the sitting area, I couldnt see the two lower areas.

Its a nice place with children play area, place to sit and have family get together. And have trail to walk/ run

Great local park with a large playground, a disc golf course, tennis courts, a basketball court, ball fields, walking trails and an outdoor theater. There is a sledding hill and cross country skiing trails throughout the park.

Great place to play disc golf! The bugs can get a bit too much sometimes, otherwise its a great place.

Its a really good park, next to the airport so fun for little kids plus the excellent playground. Then there is a great trail for walking out running around the lake and a small wooded area.

Wonderful suburban park with childrens play area, amphitheater, walking/biking trails around the lake, fishing pier, observatory, picnic tables, and the bathrooms are being renovated.

Great trails and kids area

I go here for the frolf course. Its a great course, pretty short so if you only play through once you can get done in about 15 to 20 minutes. They have multiple tee pads for 6ish out of the 9 holes to give it some variety. Highly recommend it as the course has always been in great shape and its good for both newer and more advanced players.

Lots of rich people

Quiet and nice place to walk

Great biking/running trail. Small but fun frisbee golf course

Nice park but unfortunately there are some annoying regulars who go there and think they own the place.

Good park and play area for kids. Nice lake to walk/run/jog for 2.5 miles
