The entire atmosphere is great. A wonderful place you can go, amazing that something exists like this that’s free. The LoFi music playing on the speakers adds to the calmness of it!! Love it!

This place is so cool. I love the idea of turning a artistic water structure into a play are for kids. There is a button that the kids can press to have water come out of the middle. Sometimes they have music playing. Lots of shaded places to sit and even picnic tables.

Perfect place to bring your kids. Lots of room for them to play safely. Water features to play in. Beautiful park and well maintained. Caribou coffee near by, as well as other restaurants. Lovely place to enjoy a walk among the native flowers. Must see.

This place is a jewel! I almost hesitate to write about it for fear that all will flock there. It is like a little oasis situated right in the heart of Burnsville in front of the Ames Center. I wanted to go to take the kids. Pictures reminded me of a crisp stream. The place did not disappoint. There are so many connecting fountains, picnic tables, benches, grassy areas perfect for a date or family picnic. It's a small area but large. Within it you feel the sense of community, connectedness. My kids and I made a friend as they placed with a child and I talked with his mother, both first timers in amazement...and both working together to keep an eye of the kids with all the connecting fountains. There is plenty of parking and also public restrooms.right nearby near the Medittarian Cruise cafe. Visit this park, you wont be disappointed.

Awesome place for the little ones. A Subway next door for a cheap bite to eat.

Fun for kiddos

During Burnsville's Fire Muster kickoff tonight (Sept. 4 th-7th, 2019) at Nicolette Commons Park the kids were playing in the fountains and "streams", people were dancing to Calypso music being played live outside of Ames music venue . . I even chatted with Mayor Elizabeth Kautz for a few minutes! It's a beautiful area to walk around with restaurants and eateries next door and across the street. Cub grocery store is within walking distance. It's an EXCELLENT place to spend (free) time with your family and plenty of free parking abounds!!!

Cool place to being the kids, has a nice little fountains for them to play in

Beautiful place I can't believe I have not been!

Most excellent venue!

This is one of our favorite parks. Always clean, fun, unique, beautiful. Definitely a destination park!

Really nice park, they keep it clean somehow even through it's busy ... Hight recommend. Bring a blanket and hangout out there!

Highly suggest you check it out.

Beautiful park in The Heart of The City in Burnsville! A great place for everyone to gather! Happy that The Art and Jazz Festival has returned! Thank you Sponsors!

Great place to hang out with Grandkids

This park is very nice and clean but the set up is just too dangerous for little kids. Not sure who thought putting a bunch of sharp rocks in a slippery area where kids play was a good idea.

Alway relaxes me and my kids are alway pleased as well

Nice place to hang out with your kids on a hot summer day, or just take a quick stroll at night with your significant other.

I took my grand daughter here to play in the water spouts. She had a wonderful day. Children to play with. And on the particular day we went they had bands and food trucks. It was a very fun day. My grand daughter didn't want to leave.

Wonderful park, great place to hear a concert eat food and mingle with the locals. This year Jazz Festival was a breath if fresh air. The weather was perfect food good, music at of ths world! Thank for a good time.

What a delightful surprise! Drove from Bloomington to Arise Coffee, across the street, & noticed what looked like fountains. Had to check it out & so glad I did! Such a charming & unexpected treasure off Nicollet Ave by Mediterranean Cruise restaurant. There is a stream! Plenty of places along it to sit & put your feet in the water. None of the surfaces were slippery with algae. So I felt very safe walking in the stream. Splash pad area & plenty of shady, grassy areas! I'll be back asap. It was certainly an oasis & a bit of heaven in the middle of a well-known part of Burnsville! I love it!

This water play area is my grandsons' favorite place. There are areas appropriate for litte ones and bigger kids. There are tables, benches, and shady grass areas for adults to keep an eye on kids.

I love this new common area park. I was just down there with my Guitar for a couple hours, nothing but beautiful people, good times and the sounds of Youth playing in the water... ☆Namaste☆

Bring suits, towels or a change of clothes. The kids (4,5&10) could spend hours here & the "flicks on the bricks" are always a nice Community event

Such a fun place for families. My kids love running around, splashing the water, listening to music. It’s amazing!

Super family friendly! Young kids paradise.

Very nice park. Can't wait until then turn on the water.

This park is everything in that it should be. Nice wide open splash pad, with a really unique natural theme. Room for kids to journey from bottom to top of the “river” that runs through the middle. There is enough here to be adventurous with, without posing serious dangers to the children. It’s a great place to cool off on a hot day!

I love this place, great park enjoy walking, jogging and meet people. And then visit The Kiri Thai massage not so far from here. After a long week at work to walk in the park and get some good massage , that was excellent.

Pretty good place to just talk.

We love this park in the heart of the city. We come here often in the summer and the kids enjoy splashing in the water features. We enjoy the concerts and just sitting and watching all the fun!

Always one of our go to spots in the summer time! We always meet amazing family’s and make even better friendships ! Not only that it doesn’t seem to matter how many people are there you never feel like your cramped in one area with a bunch of people .

Great park! Splash pad, fountain, lots of lush grass. Perfect for hanging out and letting the kids play. Sometimes they do events and the splash pad is closed, but the park is very nice and well maintained.

Cute park with plenty of water and grass and places to sit

Neat park where kids can play around, the city of Burnsville always have summer activities weekdays and weekends always fun, movie at the park or music fest , fun place to relax and chill with your kiddos.

Very well maintained park. Great for walking, relaxing, or a picnic! I enjoy playing Pokemon Go here.

End of summer flowers look nice right now. Too bad the water features are not running this year.

A great park for walking, conversation, a nice meal, or anything you enjoy outdoors. Ample parking and proximity to the Ames Center are nice as well.

Nicollet Commons is a very pleasant city park. Kids love to walk on the rocks and play in the water.

Place was awesome! Worked very well for Frontline Church service and they all loved it too

This place is beautiful around the holidays and a cute little area for a short walk!

Pretty and not many people

Beautiful park and City

Fantastic place my kids grew up watching movies here in the summer

Love this place, I love sitting here and reminiscing, kids are always cute!

Great place with many different looks. It worked out great for senior photo session.

Good park at the nice location!

Love it!!

Great place to walk

Roomy, nice area, open

Great place for family kids or a date

Wading streams are shallow enough for even the smallest kids to enjoy.
