Great park, all the bells n whistles for the play area spotless inside and out,. There were also animal mascots you can take photos with too.Always a great place for photos with family and friends at a well maintained park.

Very nice spacious park. There are so many picnic areas and the place was so lively when we went. There are areas for bbq and designated swim areas. They have a big playground for the kids along with a area of boats. The entrance is free of charge!

Very nice. Mostly closed up now for winter but we parked and had lunch. It would be nice to have some parking by the boat launch for people without trailers. Nice park.

Great place for some fresh air and a nice walk. Not too crowded. Playground isclosed.

Lovely park! Kids will enjoy the play area, I’ve never seen another playground like it.

This is an awesome playground for elementary kids! Tons of ways to climb and keep them busy. A water sprinkler gets turned on in the summer to cool off. Indoor bathrooms right there, as well as a small snack shop. Worth the drive even if you are not close by.

Beautiful park with a fantastic playground and nice biking/walking trails. The beach is well maintained and large. The fishing pier is disappointing; the weeds are incredibly thick and the algea was solid. Our hook wouldnt even break the surface.

This is a paradise in the middle of always going lifestyle. Many trails, sitting places, very clean and well kept up. You will be amazed how your mind and body just relax.

Wonderful place to bring the family on a Sunday afternoon. There is a great playground equipment for kids, several trails in the forest, and a small beach resort on the medicine lake just a couple of minutes from the playground. There are small shops (coffee, soft drinks and ice cream). The access is free (without a boat) and you can rent canoes, kayaks or boards.

I met up with my Daughter and her five Children here and we had so much fun on the new Playground equipment and the Water Park!!This is such a Great place to Play and hang out and has nice Picnic areas around the Beach with many Picnic tables and Grills... and Medicine Lake is Beautiful with large sand areas to play on and cordoned off for smaller children too!They also have Canoe and Kayak Rentals for $12.00 an hour.There is a Recreation building that has lots of foods and snacks to purchase also!

I grew up going to this park and it was my favorite because of the nets on playground. They have renovated it but kept the nets. My nieces love playing at this playground today. Also, my family and I love to grill by lake.

It is beautiful and clean, with lots of picnic tables and grills to use. There are great trails to hike and the beach is not too busy, maybe because theres no parking lot right next to, but its not a far walk. The playground is amazing and everything is kept pretty clean.

Ive been going here since I was a child. Finally got a chance to bring my 9 year old. They loved it. I havent been this happy in a couple months!

Awesome park! Kids love it! The beach is nice. The only downfall is the walk from parking down to the beach. My 4 kids complained a lot about having to walk so far when its hot. Restrooms are open but the changing rooms were not. Nice shaded areas with picnic tables are available. Umbrellas are also up on the beach.

Great big playground for all ages & beautiful walking trails. Excellently maintained.

Thoughtful sand and water play area, interesting swings, really high climbing structure, musical instruments, good for kids of all ages, nice walking paths.

I will never get tired of this beautiful place. Woods, beach, playground - perfect for families, couples, or a solitary excursion. I cant wait to rent snowshoes from the Visitor Center this winter!

Fantastic park for 2.5 y/o and older. I wish more people would respect social distancing and mask wearing.... hopefully thats not an issue in the near future.

My go to place for playdates. Nice walking paths and enormous playground. There is a sandy beach and swimming area for nicer weather.

I brought my kids 14, 11, and 3 they all had fun. This is my 3 year old favorite park. He asks everyday to go there.

We love new updates This park is such a fun place to spend time with friends and family. There is plenty of things to do and see. You can spend all day here and the kids will be entertained.

Very nice park, lots to do and well kept. The website has a full list of available areas and amenities. Many possible activities and plenty of room to maintain social distance, though the people visiting did not follow any of the official guidelines for safety during this pandemic. Thats not the parks fault, though.

One of the beautiful parks in a middle of Plymouth. Located on a shores of Medicine lake. Well maintained and nicely groomed with two large parking lots. With a lot of of picnic tables and a small beach, kids playground you always will find what do to.

Great park! So much to see and do! Bring a long a change of clothes though if you visit in the summer when the misters are on. My kids had a blast but were very wet for the ride home.

Lots of options for trails and activities. Seems like several areas are fairly new and all well kept. Kinda busy on weekends, but still fun.

This is a really nice park. They’ve done a really nice job revamping everything recently. The play place is incredible! There are staffed warming houses with snacks and drinks for sale and a fantastic beach area. There are sand volleyball courts and a free trolley that goes to the waterfront and back. The hiking trails are magnificent! In the winter they have a big bonfire next to the warming House. Plenty of picnic tables and grills. Five Star Park!

Excellent park. The play area is huge and well made. The beach and picnic area is well kept. We rented kayaks and it was a very easy process to do so. Definitely worth a visit.

The new park is open and looks so awesome. The deer were roaming. The walk path is perfect for walking your dog or letting your kids run.

My kids are very different ages and they all loved the park. The swimming is perfect if you have small children, and the staff are very friendly. We rented a boat and it was the best price ive scene so far. The children loved the boat ride as well we will be back again!

This place is awesome! Plenty of parking lot space available indoors bathroom, the playground area is spacious and well maintained the same goes for the walking trails and the beach area. Super kids friendly with different alternatives for pretty much everyone in the family.

I have been out a half dozen times and I am still finding things to do. Definitely a gem in the city. The playground is a hoot for my kid.

This is a pretty awesome and epic climb playground!**Make sure to have kids wear shoes as the ropes and climbing is not as soft as you would think and hurts bare feet. Flip flops don’t work either and you may lose them.There is a mist area for kids to get wet and cool off and is located about a 5 min walk from the beach area.

This is a very beautiful park. It has a very good park for children. It also has boat rentals. The fishing pier really sucks though. That is the one con of this park. It also has a nice beach.

Such a nice park! Great for all ages and a sandy beach just a short trail away! With volleyball courts and water rentals. A great place to spend the day.

Great place for walking. Dog friendly trails, with leash. Super pretty, and peaceful.

Lots of space for kiddos to run free and have fun. I enjoy there for a long walk by the beach/trails/ park.

Great job .. Thanks to all the workers that made new repairs on the Park... Children and their families are blessed with the new playground.. highly recommend the visit to the New playground..

Fun park with place to play for big and small kiddos. Nice bathrooms and parking close.

Nice new playground!Good walking paths, short or long to your liking.Rental equipment available per season, may reserve via the website.

Great family park with a nice beach and playground. Kayak/canoe rentals and plenty of walking paths. A good day out!

Huge park with separate toddler and big kid areas. Love the water features for the kids to cool down. Plenty of shade and seating. Snack bar is awesome, too!

Beautiful park, beach, and picnic area. Also has an amazing playground for all ages

This is always going to be a great park! I went there when I was a kid. Its really cool I get to take my kids there now.

A great newly renovated playground that is as imaginative as it is fun. Most play playgrounds these days are lacking in originality and you see the same plastic red slides and small climbing structures repeated incessantly. This new playground provides endless entertainment for both big kids and toddlers. The building located nearby offers clean restroom facilities as well as refreshments. Shaded picnic tables, a small splash pad, a true sandbox that offers the children a water fountain to make all the mud pies they want, as well as climbing ropes for the bigger kids, swim Beach and hiking trails, makes this a true family-friendly experience which can last an entire day.

Amazing loops to get some running in then cool down with a nice dip in the water

Nice paved walk path, and grass walk path. Clean bathrooms. Very nice new playground. Will have to try the beach sometime.

Great place for a family outing, fishing, swimming, or just a quiet walk in the woods!

This place provides comfort for people coming from all walks of life. Pristine lake,lush green lawns and neatly spaced roads and pavementss for bikers and hikers in addition to water sports on medicine lake; its hard to find place as this close to Minneapolis. Ill definitely add more pictures and review of this place during next winter. This is a MUST VISIT place if youre around.

If I could review this at no stars I would.The landing has major rocks in the channel and I have ruined two props in one summer trying to get on this lake. I called before the second time to confirm the staff went out and checked the area for obstructions and was told that it was cleared out. Well that is absolutely not the case. Boaters beware, this landing is not maintained and I wouldn’t trust it.

Beautiful wellcap Park plenty of room space very clean perfect place to have into the summer picnic BBQ

Awesome trails and if you have kids, this place has the craziest playground Ive ever seen.

Such a fun park with nice walking trails.

Great place for some outside fun! Not only is the playground nice. It they have cheap concessions and in door bathrooms!

Very big park with lots to do!! Great for family outings or meeting up with friends.

My grandkids and I love this park. The climbing is great for kids, and plenty of picnic tables to sit and watch. They have nice clean bathrooms and a small snack bar for some treats. Great place to keep the kids active.

Amazing park with great trails, picnic area and amazing playground!

This is a great park in general. Its free admission, free parking, great activities for all ages. Sometimes you gotta walk a little wee bit from parking. All in all doesnt seem to far or big recurring issue. The playground {which in my opinion down plays it in the name alone} is great! Its huge and has so so sooo much to do for kids. Plus it has a couple water sprinkler type things to cool down with on those real hot days. The beach area is keep nice and pretty clean for most part. Meaning moreso the breakdown my children and I went in swimming. They bathrooms/changing area is there and kept decent. Then you can rent kayaks, canoes, etc. Small fee but not outrageous. Cant recall exact price but recollecting was not bad. Nature trails for biking, walking, jogging etc. Bbq areas with picnic tables. Huge hills for sledding in winter [of course]. Much more Im missing but check it out yourself! My family loves it here!

Beautiful. Wonderful trails of all kinds. Pet friendly. Beautiful playground. Fabulous lake.

Really nice, large park. Fun for the big kids as well as littles. Always busy.

Great park with lots of playground equipment, beautiful paved walking paths and a large lake.

Roads are well maintained but there is not enough parking on the grounds in convenient locations for the beach unless you have a boat trailer. Sometimes you just want to go to the beach and not have to spend 30k on things to tow behind a truck.

Fun park for the kids. They definitely get a workout on the ropes

The playground is very fun! There are lots of trails and fun for the whole family!

Great place to meet and talk with plenty of play equipment parking and outdoor bathroom. (lots of walking / biking trails)

This is an excellent, well maintained park with a lot of activities ranging from free to reasonably priced. It would be hard not to be able to find something for everyone to do here. There are miles of both wooded hiking trails and paved paths (lots of shaded areas too for hot days) for plenty of walking and biking, a playground that looks like it would be a blast if you are a kid or have kids that need to burn off some energy, a nice public fishing dock, places to rent kayaks and other water activity stuff for a quick paddle around the lake, plenty of grills and seating for a nice family picnic, and loads of wildlife to watch. Oh, and its also loaded with PokeStops and gyms if you are into that and/or need something to help motivate yourself into some walking like I sometimes do on a lazy day. Though there are no shortage of excellent parks in the area, Clifton E. French is my favorite for the multitude of trails and activities and the natural beauty of Medicine Lake and the surrounding wooded and marshy areas. Definitely worth a visit. Oh, and dont forget that if you have someone with you that is unable to make the walk down to the lake or other areas in the park they run a shuttle between a few stops in the park. I dont know the exact schedule for that because we havent used it but I do see it passing by sometimes with passengers so keep that in mind of you have someone with you that might need a little assistance getting around this massive park. The visitors center near the main parking lot and the boat rental area have very well maintained bathrooms, staff is always super friendly, and they have some basic essentials like bug spray if you forgot some and want to hike the wooded trails without worrying about ticks or mosquitos. Highly recommended.

Amazing playground for kids of all ages, snack bar, restrooms open and short walk to a beach. Perfect for picnics too

It so big with so many trails. Simply loved it and enjoyed to the fullest.

Absolutely marvelous place to go relax and unwind, get away on some nice trails and enjoy nature!

Great spot for the fam to play and hit the trails. Playground gets busy

Some areas have a lot of traffic noise, but what thats what you get at a park in the city.

This place is amazing. The park/playground structure is phenomenal. Brand new. Park has enough for little and big kids.Bring a swim suit or change of clothes as theres a mister that makes the kids quite wet.Air conditioned indoor area with bathrooms and concessions.Short 0.2 mile walk to the lake, swimming and fishing.

Great for kids. Has places for kids of all ages

A beautiful and well-maintained park with tons of things to do for kids and adults of all ages.

Fun for all ages. Nice big park area.

Good place to put a tent or hamook and relax. Also a beach and play area for kids. Wouldnt recommend swimming though... I got hives once, and the state recognized it as a hazard.

Wonderful place! Sandy Beach and an enormous play structure for the kids. Come prepared to walk, and bring bug spray.

Big park. Lots of options for outdoor recreation. Nice paved bike trail.

Amazing playground for all ages. Fun musical, water, and climbing features!

This is my new favorite park. Has everything, park, walking/biking paths, beach and is a beautifully peaceful and has a bathroom.

Kinda crowded but lots of fun for the little one. More for the bigger kids but a little fun for everyone.

The park is a bit of a drive, but well worth it. This is the park you want to visit.

Nice clean, new, small splash pad, boating several activities for all age children.

Big. Clean. Impressive. Very well laid out.

Awesome place to hang out with the kids and the lake is not too far.

Great park! Kids like the playground and the beach is awesome.

Great Great Great park i used to go here as a kid and now i take mine

Lots of nice paved trails and a cool playground for kids!

They just redid their incredible playground!... Great place for walking with trails through the woods..places for picnics.. beautiful beach with amenities and rentals and they even have a tram that takes you all over this huge beautiful park!.. one of our favorite places!

Nice city park... great trails!

The playground was recently completely renovated, but they did a nice job keeping true to the original ropes course we went to growing up!

This is a really nice park in Plymouth. There are plenty of walking trails, a turtle nesting area near the beach, and a brand new playground that was remodeled. You can easily spend hours here. There is a boat launch and a rental area for canoes, kayaks, and ducks. There is a large beach area with showers and bathrooms. This is also a good area to play pokemon go.

This may be my first review that doesnt involve food. This place is gorgeous. It has trails for walking and cross country skiing. There are hills to sled down. And there is a giant jungle gym. This place is worth a relaxing trip, or to bring out your inner child. Play on.

Huge lines to get in ( ended up that line was for botes only, but there were no sighns)Way overcrowded.Playground is swarming with kidsTrails are not marked and crowded.Convenient park, but overused and undermaintained.

Good area to run around Medicine Lake, awesome playgrounds at French Park too.

Very nice park. Offered everything you want to do in a park.

Its beautiful.

Excellent park, beach, trails and more. Wish they have more signs in trails.

Amazing park with great trails. I’ve been here extensively in all seasons and it’s great for hiking, playing, and cross country skiing. Very reasonable for a day trail pass to ski. Beautiful and relaxing park!
