Beautiful green space in the city along the river! Made for a lovely picnic spot, well maintained, lots of space for distancing, there was even a food truck parked nearby.

A wonderful park in downtown Minneapolis. The views are just wonderful and the spiral path really provides a great opportunity for our kids to expend extra energy racing up along the path and then rolling down the hill. The sculptures are interesting focal points. On street parking can be a challenge but there are plenty of parking ramps in the area. There always seems to be a nice diversity of people here and the Guthrie is so accesible. Weekend farmers markets close by make it an even better visit.

Great outdoor space! You can participate in different activities, do yoga, relax, read, run. Whatever you want. Nice neighborhood with modern apartments.

Wonderful open space park. Lots of Green lawn to lay in, but also trees for shelter. Cool pathway on a hill overlooking the Guthrie and views of the Mississippi area. Next to River Road trails and biking. Metered street parking.

Nice park with riverside walk and a lot of green, connected with mill ruins park and Guthrie theatre. It is relaxing to walk here, admire different sculptures and Minnesota river, just a minute from city center. Free wi-fi available in the park.

This is a very picturesque and serene park. Not the biggest, but the art displays and spiral walkway make for a nice place to walk a dog or hang out. Its also close to many other walkways and bike paths so it has many outlets for activity depending on what you are into.

Great place! When we came here, they were having some kind of prom and we got to watch a very dramatic argument between a petulant teenage boy and his extremely irate mother. Bonus points, his date for prom was standing by awkwardly the entire time! I especially appreciated the giant red statue thing they had in the park, and more particularly how people had obviously vandalized a sign which presumably would have read Do not climb! Needless to say, people were totally climbing on it. 10 out of 10 would recommend this vibrant park.

A quiet, peaceful space to spend some much needed time surrounded by green while in the city of Minneapolis. Never super busy, the grounds are always well kept. A great spot to take a beat and relax.

I dont know if its just the location, or that the day was perfect, but Gold Medal Park is spectacular. I got delicious coffee from Misfit, had a lovely walk, and read in the sunshine.

Creative but functionally of an actual park is lacking... cool to look at but going down and up traffic is tight on some walk paths. The ambience is nice at night with the blue lights is pretty neat, but definitely a trendy place over functionality. All in all cool area to hang out.

Very scenic, a hill with a nice view. Be careful if you go barefoot; a lot of dogs in the park. 99 out of 100 may responsible dog owners, but its that hundredth, walking their dog at 3 am, that leaves you a smelly little surprise.

Great walking paths circumnavigate this brilliant green space in downtown Minneapolis. If youre interested in exploring this great city then Gold Medal Park should be a stop. Plus its right next to the most beautiful bridge in the world, the Stone Arch bridge. I suggest exploring in autumn because bald eagles are a common sight in this portion of the city. Enjoy!

A spiral park in downtown Minneapolis with close proximity to the art center, food and ice cream, Mill City, and Washington Ave. There are many events over the summer, from film screenings to bike rides. A nice little urban oasis to visit if you have some time to kill.
