There are tennis courts and sand volleyball and a wonderful playground for kids. They even have a lap pool and awesome water park with some real cool slides in St Louis Park. There is a nearby Target and Steel Toe Brewing if you want to grab a beverage or go shopping. There is a great media museum nearby as well. There is a pavilion where you can use the restroom and it was a perfect host for the event with a trail that runs a mile around a small lake. I am glad we found this place after 26 years!

A pleasant way to spend some time outside whenever the weather cooperates…read more The usual assortment of outdoor things including a decent, newish play area for the kids and some meandering walking paths. A smallish cupola to hold gatherings or escape the rain is also present. At the far western edge of the park is a pond (It's called a lake but seems to me much closer to a pond). One can take a walk around the circumference where roughly 1/6 is on a raised wooden platform. You might notice a fishing dock (I would not recommend eating anything caught but that's just me) and some water flowing over rocks (when it's not too dry). Along the northern side of the park are some fenced-in Pickleball courts that are usually quite busy. Maybe nothing special but still a good spot for some R&R.

Was in the area as we are in the market to buy a home, and any home we buy needs to be close by to…read morea public park! So before my scheduled tour time, I came here to scope it out. The road up to this park (Asher) is a bit steep, but not too long. I noticed some tennis and basketball courts on the way in. The parking lot is a bit small (not many spots) if you needed to drive there, but perhaps this park doesn't get a lot of visitors. It was pretty quiet while I was there, which is nice. There's a play structure for the kids close to the parking lot, and further beyond a rudimentary baseball diamond. Personally, I was there to hike around. There was a map that showed the many trails available. All of them are unpaved and very winding, and I couldn't actually find them under all the snowpack. So I just kind of wandered the landscape and enjoyed the trees and lake for an hour. Nothing too strenuous, but there was some change in elevation. No formalized bathroom facilities that I saw, but they had a port-a-potty with hand sanitizer in it, so that was plenty sufficient for my needs.

I have to give kudos to this park for maintenance and cleanliness! This is a very well-kept park…read more Tending courts and basketball courts are always beautiful and clean! Additionally, there have the cutest tree nursery where you can do so much fun stuff. They also have state-of-the-art biking trails! Though I haven't been on them for biking, my sneak peek was enough to make me vow to do it next time! Plenty of parking space too! Only downside to this park is there are no kid-friendly toilets. There's only one porta-potty which leaves a lot to be desired. Otherwise, great experiences all-around!

We biked here so we could swim at the Webber Natural Swimming Pool, only to find it closed last week on Labor Day.

It offers a variety of recreational sports, full Basketball & Tennis courts, Soccer and Softball fields and a Hockey rink. Shallow pool and a small majestic library (Webber Library) that was built in 1927. If none of this excites you, It's a beautiful park to picnic, hike or just throw a blanket down under a tree during summer breezes and read a book. The Legislature last July approved a $4 million project to renovate the park. A new pool is scheduled to open this summer, where no chlorine or any other chemicals will be used. Sort of a pool-lake like, creating that lake experience. The first of it's kind in the state. It is not the Canadian Rockies or the majestic plains of the Serengeti - It is a park in North Mpls, a historical park and it is breathtaking during the summer.
