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!

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 :)
