    We come here for walks sometimes, but recently they had an art fair around the entire pond. They had hundreds of vendors! It was wonderful with so much to see!! They also have a splash pad and small kiddie pool here in the summer.

    This park is underrated. It's surprisingly big, with a nice lake and some quality paved, walking trails. Minneapolitans all should go.

    Powderhorn is an old park... I played here when I was a kid, so to see my niece playing basketball here as a kid is nostalgic. Ambiance: it's a park that has one of our 10,000 lakes. There's a small parking lot and street parking around this residential neighborhood. Inside is decently clean. No issues with the restrooms or anything like that. The gym was also clean. Service: The two ladies who ran the consession stand were pleasant and kept the building smelling like fresh popped popcorn. I wish for a 9am basketball game on a Saturday morning that they sold COFFEE. All the parents would thank them! Trust me! LOL

    If you were within earshot of me and my boyfriend at Powderhorn last night, you would have shoved goose sh*t in your ears and jumped in the lake. Our incessant, "Oh wow!" "Look at that!" "This is so nice here!" "Woa!" was undoubtedly unbearable. A couple of our friends who live near this park had us over and gave us a tour of this extensive area. Every step we took we ooed and ahhed at something new we saw. There are a couple playgrounds, sand pit, swimming pool, lake, rolling hills, and a community center to name a few of its offerings. There's sledding and ice skating in the winter and swimming and picnic-ing in the summer. There is also a canoe that has cat fish swimming inside of it? And a drumline? And if that's not enough, there were fire dancers last night. That's right, when you think you've seen everything here, someone shows up and near-engorges themselves in flames for the art of entertainment. I love it here. Here's the posting of their activities and events: https://www.minneapolisparks.org/parks_and_destinations/parks_and_lakes/powderhorn_park/ My tip: grab a greasy burger from Matt's and enjoy it in the grass at Powderhorn. If the burger makes it that far.

    Totally found this park by accident even though I live right by it! Never knew it was there, it's hidden well, even though it's huge! They even have a pool that appears to be free to go in but I haven't tried it. One of the days we went there was a free play in the park, which was very cool. Our dogs love it and it gives them a nice "greener" walk than the "greenway" which we also take them on. Haven't been here for a winter yet but I'm guessing by the bowl shape of the park it would be a great sledding place. I"ll have to re-review it after the winter. If you haven't gone, GO! It's a great escape from the urban surroundings as someone else said.

    This is a huge park that has a little of everything. This park has a fine mix of modern amenities…read moreand rustic appeal. It is a little piece of calm just outside the busy city. It spans 34 acres and is named after Charles Loring, an American businessman, miller and publicist who was the first Minneapolis Park Board and considered the "Father of the Park System" in Minneapolis. The park has an astounding flower garden. It was very pretty. You will also find a very nice lake/wetland here. It has seating and is very soothing. The lake is home to many animals. Fishing is welcome at the lake. They even have a fishing pier. The park has a full basketball court and a half-court basketball court that are in great shape. The park's horseshoe pits could use some TLC, though. The park is home to about 10 pits. If you are a pickleball player, then the park has a couple of nice courts to play on. Other park amenities include tennis courts, shuffleboard, and two playground areas on wood-chip beds. One area is fenced in and is for smaller children. This area has a bank of swings, a saucer swing, slides, a modern merry-go-round, a bebble bridge, and a jungle gym. The other playground area, for older kids, has a climbing net, balance beam, slides, pebble bridge, and rock climbing wall. This area is not fenced in. I have seen a lot of parks, and this is a nice one. They host events such as movie screenings, ice skating, and lunchtime concerts. You can easily spend half a day here. I really enjoyed my time here and am sure that you will too.

I'm new to discovering The Trailhead at Theodore Wirth Regional Park, but believe me when I say I'll be back many more time. In the winter, they offer cross-country skiing and lessons. (You can rent a full set of gear for about $30- no need to have your own to experience skiing! They also have à la carte options for cheaper if you only need poles or boots, etc.) Besides skiing, outdoor winter activities also include snow tubing, snowboarding, snowshoeing.... You name it. (I haven't been in fall or summer yet, but I also hear great things about their mountain biking and trail running options.) Inside The Trailhead, there's food and drink concessions, ample seating, lockers, bathrooms, and even rooms for rent. The last time I was there, a family was hosting a young child's birthday party in the multi-purpose room. Altogether, there is an amazing assortment of services here to come and check out. Can't wait for next ski season!

    HIDDEN GEM IN THE CITY…read more I've lived on this parkway for 3 years now and I don't think I've shut up about how amazing Theo Wirth is since! The City Chain of Lakes get all the hype, but you know what's even closer to downtown, in the heart of the city, with: a lake xc ski trails fat bike / mountain bike trails endless walking paths beach with volleyball courts public golf course and so much more?! Yeah, that's right - my neighborhood park! You can do about every outdoor activity you can think of here. Plus, the Trailhead is the main hub for all of it, with a restaurant, tons of indoor seating, gear rentals year-round, and an amazing nature space in the heart of the city. This is the perfect park to embrace any season in Minne!

The paved paths make for an easy and accessible walk, suitable for a quick escape or a leisurely stroll. What really stood out to me was how quiet it felt. Even with buildings in the background, the park feels remarkably peaceful. The gentle sound of water, the rustling of leaves, and the overall calm let you forget you're in a busy area. It's a fantastic bubble of serenity. The scenery mixes urban sophistication with natural beauty. Modern buildings create a sleek backdrop for the beautifully designed waterways and landscaped grounds. Even without full bloom, you can see a real commitment to diverse plants here. I can't wait for a return visit in the spring! I can only imagine how bright and colorful it gets when everything is in full bloom. If you want a peaceful place to clear your mind, enjoy some fresh air, and take a nice walk, Centennial Lakes is a must-visit. Whether you have 15 minutes or an hour, it's the perfect spot. I left feeling refreshed and energized. I can't wait to see it come to life in the spring!
