    Loved the serene, short path around the lake. I took my 18 month old daughter for a walk and it was amazing. Good amount of nature while you're in the city and not too long of a walk. There's one part with a ratchety board that's a little dicey to cross with a stroller but other than that, it's a great place to get a walk in, hang out, take a break, etc.

    Wonderful park with scenic beauty… with lots of birds specially those ducks and gooses. Walking trails are really fine mostly the bridges. It's really good on bike, it's huge. You can see lots of sculptures as tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives. Very clean and well maintained park. We found it's very peaceful too. Cleaned restroom are also there.

    Good place for relaxed stroll along the creek. There is small peer and long one. Picnic area and rest rooms on site. You need to monitor your kids as there is no fence to water or to road on other side. So this place is not to let your small kids play by themselves and you relax. However very pleasant place at heart of the Eden Prarie city.

    Beautiful Memorial Day service every Memorial Day at 11 a.m. A wonderful and scenic walk with plenty of singing birds, jumping fish, and curious dragon flies.

    Peaceful, short walk around the lake. Ducks, Geese, and different types of birds to see on the way. You are first greeted with a tribute to honor those that have lost their lives or are serving in the military. Lots of beautiful quotes in stone!

    One of the best parks in Eden Prairie. Very well maintained and clean. The loop trail system in this area connecting the park to the lakes and creek is awesome. The Bird watching pavilion here is a cool place. Great place for walking in the evenings.

    This is a beautiful park, but the best part is the Purgatory Creek section, which includes a nature preserve. There is a great walking trail around both bodies of water. This is also a great place for birdwatching, especially aquatic species. There are picnic tables, ample free parking, and a nice bathroom facility.

    We had a blast at the Brew Fest! 9th annual and it was very well done.

  • 5/5 Sarah 7 months ago on Google • 69 reviews
    We went here for a post meal walk and roll and ended up coming back the next day because it was so lovely. The paved path is a bit bumpy/pitted but no worse than an average sidewalk these days. It's so peaceful with a lot of critters, foliage, bugs, ducks, and shade. It was not at all hilly so if your wheelchair can handle some bumpy pitted pavement, this is a great place for a long roll. There are accessible bathrooms near the parking. They're pretty dirty but usable in a pinch. The soap was full and there was toilet paper. Right off the parking was a pavilion. Surrounding that were flowers, a memorial, and benches. Everything was lovely and well manicured. Handicap parking was readily available.

    I love this park and the walk around the lake is always enjoyable.

  • 4/5 Jamie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely garden and shelter area, but the main attraction for me are the birds! Great shorebird viewing (but bring binoculars), osprey, egrets, herons, marsh wrens, etc. One star removed due to trash in the water and because parts of the walking path are quite narrow and might be inaccessible to anyone using a mobility aid.

    A beautiful scenic spot right in the heart of the city. A very peaceful calm ordeal if you wish to have a walk or a run or even sit and have a bite. Watch color filled landscapes and buzzing bees, humming birds humming along side or even taking your kids for a quick fishing trip. Its all possible here. A must visit. Very close to Lifetime Fitness.

    A beautiful place to walk and enjoy nature, with a few different options for trail loops. There is a diversity of birds here and the pavilion provides a place to picnic.

    Beautiful park with walking/running trails around the creek and natural water preserve. Nice pavilion with picnic benches and other seating areas fashioned around a Veteran Memorial. Grounds are professional maintained and flower beds are blooming. On-site bathrooms and other amenities are available. Was quiet, tranquil and a place to ponder the lives lost to keep our country safe. A simple unplanned stop turned into a moment to remember.

    This is a beautifully maintained park with a great memorial to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. There’s a well maintained path along the perimeter of the pond that is great for walking or running. Early mornings and around sunset are my favorite times to come here. There’s also a ton of Pokestops and a gym!

  • 5/5 Brady R. 11 months ago on Google
    It's a very nice park. The Veterans memorial was really neat. If you have the time, take a stroll around the lake. It's very pretty and relaxing.

    From turtles facing off on different sunlit rocks to mallards, egrets & herons wading almost imperceptibly as they stalked their underwater dinners, this place is a true, timeless respite carefully secluded behind office buildings. Given the windbreaks the surrounding man-made structures provide, over 50% of the paths are paved and appear wheelchair accessible; true secluded comfort, behind many medical offices..

👍👍 Love going to Scheels. They have a wide range of merchandise, the employees are usually nice, and pretty much anyone can find what they need here! Yes things are more pricey, but it's a great store overall. The only downside is that I wish they had an escalator. They do have an elevator, but people...
