    Gold Medal Park is so beautiful, especially in the summer months when it's warm & the grass is green! It’s a great place to bring your dog, lay in a hammock, read a book, or just enjoy the views of Minneapolis & the river!

    It's a Green space...so there is that. Best spot to watch the bicentennial fireworks. I took this photo is from the top floor of the Eleven building.

    This is our favorite park which is a block from our condo. It's so peaceful and always a vibrant amount of people jogging, walking their dogs or just hanging out in the park. It's nice too because they closed off one of the roads so less traffic runs through the neighborhood hood which gives you a sense of peace. It's a wonderful little nook in the city right next to Mills Creek Park and Stone Arch Bridge

    Good one just right in the center of the skyscrapers .. nicely located with some wonderful sculptures. We love the sign of the park. Easy go to the top and you can have some awesome view. The us bank stadium is easily address from here. It's just beside the stone arch bridge. You can start yours hiking or walking and cross the bridge. wonderful location of the park.

    Meticulously cared for. Large hill with a nice lookout at the top where there is shaded seating. Theres a beautiful historic pavillion/steel gazibo and a strange red steel statue. The kids had fun running on the grass and climbing trees. Its a small park with good shade and toilets. Just a nice breather in the middle of the city

    One of my favorite sunset spots. Fun hill to walk up and a view of the Gold Medal Flour sign as well as the Stone Arch Bridge! Good hammock trees. Parking has never been a problem for me personally, but make sure you pay! I’ve gotten tickets here. 4 stars instead of 5 because like any park, sometimes people are weird.

    A wonderful park in downtown Minneapolis. The views are just wonderful and the spiral path really provides a great opportunity for our kids to expend extra energy racing up along the path and then rolling down the hill. The sculptures are interesting focal points. On street parking can be a challenge but there are plenty of parking ramps in the area. There always seems to be a nice diversity of people here and the Guthrie is so accesible. Weekend farmers markets close by make it an even better visit.

    Such a versatile park. I enjoy running up and over it on Wednesday mornings with November Project.

    Such a cool park and great photo ops. Too bad there’s all the road work. It took work to navigate around. I would go again regardless. Loved it

  • 5/5 Vennela O. 1 year ago on Google • 104 reviews
    Very Good & Clean Park. We can see stone arch bridge view from here . It's having nice chairs to sit . Dogs can enjoy this park very nicely. I have done swing and hammock. One day, I made a picnic for myself 🤪😜🤩. We can do a snow tube in winter if snow is more. It's very walkable to Guthrie Theater, Rivergate, Churchill apartments, and downtown Minneapolis as well. There are no public restrooms in this area.

  • 5/5 Luke T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great iconic landmark right in the heart of the city. This is also a great display of how landscape architecture can influence the view of a place as well as how people view the surrounding places. It's a great place to walk through anytime of the year, but I highly recommend visiting the second and third weeks of October for fall colors, or late August to watch the Aquatennial firework show. Don't leave without walking to the top of the hill.

  • 5/5 Epsilon P. 2 years ago on Google
    Popular park with comfortable grass and a Zen garden on top of the hill.

    Love this park. Community workout group meets here Wednesday mornings at 6:27AM (November Project) and we have fun using the space in different ways. Great spot to wake up with the sun.

  • 5/5 Mark K. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place to go for a walk and just enjoy a sunny day. This is located right next to the Guthrie theater and the Old Medal Flour Mill. During the summer this is a prime spot for viewing the 4th of July fireworks and also the aquatennial firework show later on in the month. If you do go to these fireworks shows make sure you bring a chair and get there at least an hour and a half early to get yourself a good spot. Also park on the street do not park in a parking garage or you are going to be stuck there for hours once it's over.

  • 5/5 Parker H. 6 years ago on Google

👍👍 Had a great experience at this stadium watching Rammstein. Security was efficient and friendly. Had some fried cheese curds that were the best I have ever had. Prices for concessions suck though. The concert it's self sounded great. However the music playing before the show could barely be heard....
