This is a lovely, sizable park in the middle of a residential area. It has a lot of grassy space with mature trees, paved paths, and good lighting. It also has a ton of amenities: a community sports center, tennis courts, basketball courts, playing fields, a small wading pool, and a couple of playgrounds, one of which has accessible equipment for kids with disabilities. This is popular place for locals to bring their children and walk their dogs during the day.

We usually go here after weve grabbed some food. Its a nice park to just sit and eat a meal and chat with you friends or family. We also find a lot of turtles here when exploring!

They have updated their playground (not all the way) The new and improved version of the park is nice it has the turf ground. Which is better than wood chips or sand.

This is a fantastic park in North Minneapolis. The city and parks department needs to spend more money here to upgrade the tennis facilities and improve a drainage issue. Great community outreach.

Crap shoot on what you will get coming here. Most time its good, other times its fights and having to listen to kids screaming and swearing. Watch your step for broken glass and dog poop on the paths. Dont let your dogs eat chicken bones, or used condoms.
