Love this park. Just wish they included a dog park too. The neighborhood has lots of dog owners and no space for them to go play.

There is an evil squirrel that always wants my food here. He is relentless and scared of nothing.But the tennis courts are nice! Glad they have them :)

Great place to set up a hammock

Great park, very clean. Always space to hang out with friends. Sometimes there is a guy here who Flys massive kites.

With a well-equipped playground and well-kept grounds, the park is an excellent place for an afternoon family picnic. It is within walking distance of several local restaurants and bars, and there is a small covered pavilion with a few picnic tables. The wading pool is also a good option during the summer for families with small children. The one downside to the park is that it is quite frequently busy, especially in summer when the wading pool is open.

Nice park. Huge green spaces that get converted to ice rinks in the winter.

Van Cleve Park really was so much fun to ice skate at. The skates are free and NICE, they have a variety of sizes. The warming room was always clean and open. The front desk staff was SUPER friendly and welcoming, and the other skaters were all nice and amiable also. A super cool feature at a local park that I wish I knew about before!

Well kept park with great options year round! This place has a lot of space for you to play soccer in the summer or hockey in the winter. Each time of year that I go here, I am impressed with how well they keep this place maintained. Definitely will be back again soon!

Big park with everything you need- grassy areas, sports fields, seating, etc, plus lots of nearby free parking

Beautiful little community park with playgrounds, community center baseball/softball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a kiddie pool

Awesome place to people watch and to walk around/site see.

Fun park with lots of open area and two large sets of playgrounds

Van Cleve park has great facilities. I especially appreciate the programs that they run out of the building. Check out the ice skating rink and free yoga classes!

Great place to bring the family.

Love this park great place for the kids

Very large park with a nice play area for kids and plenty of shaded areas for picnics on the lawn. Its very easy to drive to work plenty of street and off street parking. The train at the playground was a huge hit with the kids!

Compost set up is great

Lots of good shade trees, which is lovely.

This is a really nice large spacious park. There are a couple of playgrounds baseball field, soccer fields, basketball courts tennis court and in the winter they even put an ice skating rink down. There are trails, a swimming pool etc... This park also has an indoor gym.There are many services for children and youth as well as a daycare. Theres always kind staff working here I used to go there as a child and I now take my friends children to that park it just gets better and better.

Its a dump and bad neighborhod

I got punched in the face by some dude on drugs. Free parking though!

I love coming here during early spring to late fall. Community building is staffed and bathrooms are open from the outside if building is closed. BIG plus in my book. Kiddee pool is well cared for and always open during normal summer times.

Nice park for all age children. Safe clean environment. Nice and friendly staff.

Downtown park near Dinky Town. Nice spot to eat your lunch if you want to get away from your office at the University.

Great place to go with young kids. Shallow public pool & great park. Highly recommend

Great place for a jog

My group meets here regularly; great place for kids

So much to do or not do. Put up a hammock, BBQ and watch a pretty active park for field sports in the summer. Also, damn good hockey in the winter. A fave for famy and picnic action.

Great skating come winter time!

Kinda small but nice facilities none the less! Decent spot for Pokemon Go

All that was missing was an open bathroom.

Great spot for a run!

Has tennis and basketball court. Can use for free

Nice little park with a pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic tables, free 2 hour street parking.

Grandughter loves this park which mean Grandfather love this park. This park has gotten infusion of new equipment

Walk past it

Cool park. Very kid friendly complete with playground, baseball field, basketball court, soccer field, a shallow pool for little kids in the summer and a hockey rink in the winter given the appropriate weather. Also have indoor basketball but not sure who and how it is used.

I just come here to play Pokemon Go. Always clean and well taken care of.

Wide open areas are nice.

Two large playgrounds, including one oriented toward toddlers, a zero-entry pool, and lots of shade (even on the playground equipment). Bathroom was perfectly clean, bright, and actually smelled good--which I dont think I have ever been able to say about another public restroom at a park.

Great party time for the kids

Go northstars! True blue are wack

This park has received some TLC from the city, complete with a 3ft wading pool, jungle gym, and baseball fields. The surrounding area isnt much to look at, but this is a great community space with plenty of kid-friendly features.

OMG the epidemy of community engagement. Im proud to be a Minneapolis resident that supports the parks and rec.

Very good park big great tots lot

Good park, but not one i would allow the kids to go unsupervised to.

Very lovely and peaceful Park. I enjoy myself.

I love this part of town as its right by the cool Binge tower! The facility itself is not 5 star but it is Minneapolis and it does what its intended to do so I cant complain. Love that theres parking.

Staff are great over there very friendly and helpful

Grand son had a practice game

Nice park, with pool, playground and baseball field, only problem was mosquitoes, so wear ur repellent

Grandchildren had a great time

Solid Park to walk dogs and have recreational fun in. Due to it being so close to college town and student housing however, there is quite a lot of garbage in the surrounding area. There are ample garbages placed around for any dog business you might need to clean up.

Small park, pool and overall just nice

My kids love the kiddie pool

My grandson enjoyed the park

Nice basketball court and playground.

Love watching sunsets from the chairs in this park. Running area is not too big but is fine. Good park overall

My polling place, great folks volunteering and helping out.

Nice area. Parking is hard to find.

Great local park! Love the skating in winter, a little small

I mean as parks go, this one is the least murdery

Kids love this park and love the wading pool in the summer. Great for 3-8 year olds.

Snow tasty, yum yum.

Nice park with lots of trees, a couple picnic shelters, and a play area.

IT WAS nice BEAUTIFUL people

Hockey, tennis, soccer, they have it all.

Free rink, free warming house, and large area for skating or playing hockey. One of my favorite places to walk to for skating in the winter.

Standard excellent outdoor rinks courtesy the Minneapolis park board, but I like this rink for the cozy warming house + fireplace.

Nice park with facilities for all ages. The wading pool is closed with no signs of reopening. The toddler playground and regular playground were great.

Field poorly maintained. Left field was essentially a construction zone

Kinda small poorly run, but the only city park in the neighborhood, was rumored to expand into the Bunge space. Unfortunately the city is now going to let the trashy low income development run by Project for Pride in Living expanding into this space, look for more rental primarily geared for Somali renters. Park isnt maintained well enough already and now going to get hundreds of more park users who throw their trash everywhere a situation exacerbated by park staff who are reluctant to put out trash bins. Additionally the city leases one forth off this park for the exclusive use by a southwest mpls baseball team. So for a few days of use it is fenced off from local kids to use the other 300 days of the year

Awesome fun!

Refuge in the night, soundset madness, no cops or crackheads,green grass with no needle caps,or needles,for that matter. Reprieve at Van Cleave was trill steeze.

Nice neighborhood!

The city needs to pick up the garbage at this park! Broken bottles are not cool.

Great place for family and friends also offers all sort of activities for all ages

Fun!!!

A great park with great people

Ice rinks in the winter and baseball fields during the warmer seasons. Free for all and worth checking out

Could use more benches, for people just wanting to relax. Otherwise its a fine park.

Ice rinks, basketball courts, ball field, indoor rec center, kids park area, all you could ask for from a neighborhood park!

I got to play my first game todas it was so fun!

Offers a nice range of services and activities for all ages.

Good place to practice flying drones

Ice rinks are great in the winter! Open mid December to mid March typically.

Good place for walking

Nice little park

Nice park ball field, kiddie pool field house skating in winter.

Great rink with natural ice and lights in a safe park

Well kept, close to food and coffee.
