I actually cant believe how beautiful and amazing this place is. Must be a mile long walking circuit around the lake that features a putting course, boat rental, a pavilion an amphitheater and more! Classical music gently plays the whole way around. All of the features and trees are decorated to fit the season. A perfect oasis in an urban jungle. Love it.

We love this place. Either covered in snow or with sunshine in summers. Maintained so well and nearby coffee shops and small eating joints are cool enough. Ample amount of parking. Allow you to have picnics.

My girls (6 & 10) really enjoyed our walk around the ponds. The little maze was fun for them to race each other. Its a lovely, well groomed place. Nice background music, swing benches and plenty of seating and tables along the path for hanging out, playing games, or a picnic lunch. After we had our little picnic we fed the fish and ducks a bit. We also appreciated the clean restrooms. We were there from 9:30 - 11:30 on a Monday morning so while there were other people it was not crowded at all.

This place is so futuristic and modern. While walking around, I felt like I was in a different world with touches of nature so perfectly sculpted into these fabulous building structures. The stone walkways and fountains add a beautiful touch to something that otherwise would feel like just another business district and shopping mall. This place is gorgeous for walks, for a date, or to bring kiddos to run along the creekside. A little taste of natural feeling inside a big city.

Been here a few times over the years but Ive never actually taken a walk around the park itself. Both my son and I enjoyed the walk around there very much. Would have given it five stars but the mini golf course seems to close a little too early in the season.

It is such a great place to go to that you would forget the fact that it is a park. They have businesses a put put golf and a stream boat for rent. Very chill and all the while they have a trail for you to take so you most definitely would need some comfortable shoes. I really enjoyed this park and so did my kids plus the environment and the atmosphere was great. When I come to Minnesota again Im most definitely coming here again

On average it takes me 30 minutes for one round walking the Centennial Lakes walking path in Edina, MN. The scenery is exceptional.Often if I end my work day nearby, I take in a walk here. I enjoy doing this walk with my friends, business peers, and/or daughter. The labyrinth is fabulous and great for photo opportunities. It is so refreshing to take in a bite here after running errands and/or work.Dogs and dog walkers are frequently on the trail (on a leash) – and often they are super friendly and easy to complement. It is close to a mile a half walk. I love hearing the water fall and seeing the lights of nearby building reflecting on the water at dusk.Thursdays are market day. Ice Skating is available in the winter and lawn golf and boating in the warmer months. Visitors can enjoy summer concerts on the lawn, the tables set out for picnickers, porch swings and dining along the route.If you haven’t been there, it doesn’t cost anything to enjoy the walking path is one of the best kept secrets of the Twin Cities. We frequently take out of town guests there to share this exceptional scenic place.It’s an amazing setting year-round with a beautiful mix of nature, plantings and cityscape.

I love this place! So much fun for the whole family. Just walking around is enough fun, so much to see. But, the paddle boats, remote control boats, golfing etc makes it even more exciting and fun! The movies in the park during the summer are a hit in my family and have been for years. It’s a hidden gem in my opinion:)

Its easy to grab a coffee and meet with friends at the tables by the water to socially distance and feel comfortable. And its a beautiful park. Quiet and pretty empty on Saturday mornings.

Its always a beautiful walk. We walk the full loop, 1.45 miles. Watching the garden and pond change from spring to fall is one of the best part of the walk

We were married here 10 years go today. Decided to come back with the girls and have some Pizza from Pizza Lola and reminisce. Theyve done a nice job keeping the park up. Beautiful as we remember it.

Centennial Lakes is a beautiful and relaxing place to meet friends to walk and chat. You can keep social distancing but still feel connected. Its fun to see the minerature golf and the families fishing. It is nicely landscaped with fun views from different spots around the lake.

A surprisingly lovely place between stores and apartment buildings. A beautiful little lake which has walkways and bridges all along. A lot of parking, free concerts, and accessible. Eating places next to the park.

Despite being an artificial lake amongst the state of 10,000 natural lakes, the place still is a true gem of the twin cities. Located amongst the top upscale areas of the town, theres plenty to do in the park other than just walking and relaxing by the water. Theres peddle boating and a golf course as well as upscale restaurants with patios opening up to the lake.During summers, theres farmers market as well as outdoor movie in the park on Thursdays. They have the events posted on the fb page for details. Feel like theres something to do here for every age group and personality!

A lovely urban park surrounded by office complexes, restaurants, shops, trees and flowers. In the middle of the park there is a man-made lake where you can rent a paddleboat in the summer or ice skate in the winter. During the summer months, you can play putt, putt golf or croquet and there is an outdoor amphitheater with live musical performances. There is also a weekly local Farmers Market and a spring and fall arts & crafts fair. Scattered throughout the park are 2 person swings and wooden benches. It is a very popular spot for walking.

This place is like a little oasis for the soul. I find it peaceful here and it always calms me. Whether taking a stroll around the waters edge, playing some mini golf (Its not miniature golf, its golf in miniature!), or sitting on a swinging bench, this is the place to come if you need to relax.

If you think you want to be outside but you arent REALLY an outdoorsy person, this is the place for you. Its a concrete park surrounded by concrete. The rich of the area need their well maintained walking loop so you will always find beautiful flowers, swinging benches, fountains, music throughout the park, and generally a decent handful of people.

This is an all-season park. Every season it comes with its own beauty. During summer you can go for the paddle boating, mini golfing and walk around. Surrounded by some fantastic restaurant and shops. It is very popular place during winter as well. People come here with their family for ice skating. It is always free, only you have to pay 6 dollars if you rent skating gears. I personally like to spend time on a snowy evening as the streetlights and the surrounding office buildings create a mesmerizing environment. Overall it is a very cool place.

Lovely place to ice skate in the winter and it wasnt too busy! Lots of families with children. Only $6 to rent skates for the day, you can choose from figure or hockey skates. The inside is a wonderful space to relax. You can play hockey or just skate around. No need to be an experienced skater, either.

There are lots of places to walk around in this cool park. I really like the band shell and there are often performances there during the summer, which are fun to attend. There are also a bunch of different activities you can do, too. With shops really close by, this is a perfect location to hang out with friends.

Beautiful area. We went and ice skated! It was such a fun time. Great little spot to go for fun. It looked like there were snacks for sale and sleds or trainers to also rent if you needed that on top or skates. They had figure or hockey. It was worth it.

Probably one of the most beautiful places Ive ever been in my life. The landscaping is eerily perfect. There are so many creative touches that really make the walk a special place to relax - benches in little alcoves made of bushes are the perfect spots to read a book. Dotting the path are speakers wafting calming music to you as you pass. There are mini sculpture gardens spread around the lake with plenty of cozy seating. Everything is spotless - every time Ive gone it looks as if it was cleaned moments before I arrived. You will always find a place to yourself here if you just need to have some peace and quiet.
