I parked in the big lot of the community center and walked over. I brought some dinner along with me so I found a nearby bench to eat at while soaking up the lovely scenery. I was genuinely impressed by all the teaming blooms. It's not a huge garden, but it isn't small either, and it's clearly well maintained. I was grateful to see it looking so nice considering all the heat waves we've been subjected to as of late. I definitely saw some folks using it as a backdrop for their wedding photos. I took a few photos myself too, of course. Too pretty to not! The garden is broken down into smaller individual areas, specifically: the grand lawn, the labyrinth, the rose garden, the butterfly garden, the water garden, the native shrub garden, and the woodland restoration area. I definitely recommend checking it out! If I lived closer by, I'd probably bring a book or my journal regularly.

It is located less than 10 miles from Minneapolis in the suburb of Plymouth, quick getaway from the city. There are lovely parks surrounding the lake, and the paths are nicely paved connecting to Minneapolis, Maple Grove, and Minnetonka. The paths are ideal for biking, running, and a nice stroll. There's lots and lots of parking, Medicine Lake is one of my favorite lakes and I love the walking paths something one can enjoy all year long with the change of seasons, oh the colors and the fragrance! It is one of the reasons I love living in the Twin Cities. The photos below is from my walk on Sunday June 12, 2022 which was a perfect early summer day.

My kiddos love this park! Both boys, one 4.5 and the other 1.5, both have a blast whenever we go…read more The play structures are very new. Looks like they have been replaced within the past few years. The main structure is fairly large. I believe it has 3 or 4 slides and a tall 'rock wall' for climbing. My little one can navigate but it's high in the air so I prefer to accompany him up there. The smaller platform, for tots his age, has wide steps, a steering wheel, a gradual slide, and a hiding place underneath. Then there's this yellow globe type thing that they can crawl into bed spin. Neither have been much into it but I've seen a lot of older kids enjoying. Four swings, two regular, one for infants, and I believe an accessibility swing, too. Other aspects of the park include a covered picnic area, tennis courts, softball field, and a lit soccer field turned ice arena in the winter. Great for all ages!

All the beautiful maples looks so beautiful in the fall. They have a small parking lot. If it is full, you could always park on the street where the trail entrance is.

I love these trails. I frequent the area regularly to walk my dog. There are a few muddy areas, but…read morenothing that is impassable. I love the old growth forests, the birds, and the flowers. There's some invasive species creeping in so i usually pull them myself (garlic mustard, tansy, and mullein). The deer enclosure in the middle of the park has a fallen tree that collapsed the fence so I'm sure deer have been able to get in there. Highly recommend this park anytime of year!!

The lake/pond has a great gravel trail around it which is about .75 miles long. It's a great running path, and usually not crowded. There are three swinging benches off the path that are great places for breathing the fresh air and taking in the view. The playground has multiple levels of fun for kids from just walking through about 12 years old. Thanks Camelot for years of fun memories :)
