I was looking for some new playgrounds in the area for my little guys to blow off some energy and I…read morehit the jackpot with this park!! This park has plenty of parking lot and street parking! There is a ton of field space to picnic or kick a soccer ball around! The playground is HUGE and has multiple areas! It would be extremely had to be "bored" here! There are picnic tables, lots of chairs and benches around. The playground does have concrete but most areas are rubber or turf grass (yay no messy sand or pebbles stuck in shoes!) The other nice part about this park is that it felt very inclusive! Lots are areas in this part for all ages, sizes and abilities! There is also a skate park! It can get very busy, so coming in the morning or later in the evening will give you the best chance at parking, watching your kids closely and getting to play on all of the equipment!

Ever since my first trip up to this park I have been amazed and enjoyed the views that it offers…read more It arguably has the best views of St Paul and is a great vantage point. There is amble parking along for this park (even if occasionally there are a few creepy looking characters hanging around). I often see people taking photographs up here which really is no surprise given the views and easily accessible location. Summer or winter this place looks impressive. It can get a little windy but it is so worth if for the views and a quiet place to relax. Combine this with the historical and cultural background of the area and it makes for a place you gotta check out!

It's also a free park with plenty of amenities so you can't beat that.

The Discovery Center does have events every so often, so check the website for a calendar of what's happening.

One thing I'd mention that I hadn't read much about was that the poison ivy was pervasive, jutting into the path even in areas that we wouldn't have considered the paths to be overgrown. We opted to stay on the paved path until we got to the most direct path down to the falls. I used the map and route marked on Daytripper28.com's website. Enjoy!

Started at the central Park entrance off of Dale street walked all the way to the nature center, around the boardwalk and back--it was a lovely path. Much of it was paved, but there was some dirt/wooden trails once you got to the nature center. They have bathrooms, but I couldn't find a water fountain which was a bummer. Definitely a cool spot right in the middle of the neighborhood. It is a busy place though so the parking lot does fill up but there's also a few parking lots and plenty of street parking.
