    The experience ive had in this establishment is worse than anything i have had in my entire culinary career. The chicken was under cooked, bun was soggy, and the spaghetti in under seasoned. I suggest you let the students go under the school and suck the sewage pipes. Also as I went to the bathroom to force the dog food i ate out of my mouth i saw kids smoking ecigs! The most appetizing thing on the lunch menu is lunch lady hair!

    I had the most fantastic time at Central Park skating rink last evening. I had not been on figure skates for 37 years! This was a magical place with the fresh snow, all of the Christmas lights and Christmas music playing indoors and outdoors.

    IF YOU ARE a black person please DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE! Theres multiple reports of the black children being treated horribly by the police officers in the school and the teachers do nothing but hide the polices behavior! DONT DO IT please!

    Want to get away and spend some peaceful time, read a book along a beautiful garde, learn some history, play some basketball πŸ€ or tennis 🎾!? Perhaps a picnic with the kids and or let the kids play in an awesome Kids playground and Cool off in a super cool mini water park! Anyway, one beautiful park for sure! The pictures only show a bit of what this park offers and there are plenty of trails linked if like walking as much as I do. This place is always alive! It make you want to enjoy it more. Love the garden and with benches around, beautiful! ❀️❀️🌸🌺🌼🌻πŸͺ·πŸŒΌπŸŒΈπŸŒΊπŸ›πŸπŸ¦‹β€οΈ

    We moved to Maple Grove just few weeks ago and we have been exploring the area. Kids had wonderful time at the playground and splash pad. Everything looks taken care of. Fun time for kids of all ages. They have toddler areas a lot of seating for parents, some shade. We are looking forward to checking out their skating circle in winter time!

    I’ve been bringing the kids here for several years now and they still love this park. It has activities for all ages and is open all seasons with a large modern playground, splash pad, and ice skating loop. Also has excellent nearby walking trails, a pickle ball court, basketball hoops, and a large grassy field. I would’ve loved this place as a kid!

    Central Park of Maple Grove truly shines as Minnesota's finest park! Its idyllic walking trail around the lake offers serene strolls, while the colossal playground ignites boundless joy. The ice skating rink, basketball court, soccer field, and tennis court cater to all sports enthusiasts. A sprawling sand area and impressive splash pad guarantee endless summer fun. This park truly has it all, making it a must-visit gem!

    Fantastic park! What an amazing play area for kids of all ages. Nice pond with ducklings 😍 Bathrooms are clean. Just wish is was a little shaded, especially at the playground. Otherwise had a nice meet up with other moms and kids. So many good places to eat after a walk or grab dinner and take it to the park.

    I have been a teacher here for many years, and I will work here for many to come. Why? Because our students are awesome, our staff is dedicated and our community is wonderfully supportive. We are simply blessed with a great school here in Champlin. Thanks to all who make that a reality.

  • 1/5 Sundus M. 3 years ago on Google
    The park itself is absolutely beautiful. My family goes there often and my siblings always come back happy. Today we had a terrible experience because of the lady at the interactive fountain. She was absolutely rude to us. I saw her let in so many people but when a member of my family went to the restroom she not only yelled at us, but she was in our faces complaining about how we were putting her β€œover”. We tried to explain that we didn’t add anyone but that we took one of the kids to the bathroom. She continued to harass my siblings and I while treating everyone else that came in or left with kindness. Was my hijab or skin color a threat to her so much that she treated all of my younger siblings with disrespect. To the point where they were afraid to even use the restroom. I’m extremely disappointed in her attitude towards my family. They need someone who doesn’t let their personal biases get in the way to do whatever job she does.

    Wonderful park with open spaces, playgrounds, splash pad, pickleball and basketball courts, and a beautiful skating area for rollerblading in summer and ice skating in winter. The park is a bit hidden back in a neighborhood, which makes it feel even safer. The park building has large clean bathrooms complete with changing areas.

    This is an amazing playground! It has pretty much anything your kids could want. Plenty for both little and big kids to play on. The ground is a soft rubber in most areas, other areas have sand as well. It's also right next to a heated splash pad, that isn't to say the water is warm but it isn't ice cold like other splash pads. It looks cool at night when the lights come on too! In the winter you can enjoy the ice rink as well! Overall this is a very cool area and could easily spend a few hours here and then head just a few blocks down to Arbor Lakes shopping center or grab food at one of the many restaurants in the area.

  • 4/5 MJ H. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 14 reviews
    This is my favorite park in all of Minnesota, so many good memories here. The thing is, there's this big long steel slide that becomes a complete child launcher after it gets wet. It's fun, but there's a playground structure about seven feet in front of it I'd say, and how many times I've seen a kid go flying into it or have to skid to the floor to avoid it... bit of a hazard. But what's childhood without a few bruises.

  • 5/5 Ashley J. 11 months ago on Google
    I'm going to give this park five stars because it truly is a beautiful park, but it is not for me and my family. Our biggest issues were: 1. No shade 2. Very few tables and spots to sit 3. Extremely obstructed sightlines - everything is too close together to get a good view across the playground We likely won't return, but that's just because we prefer calmer and less busy playgrounds!

  • 5/5 Karen G. 7 years ago on Google
    Awesome staff! Champlin Park kids are the best!

  • 5/5 Jessica C. 11 months ago on Google
    We live in the Duluth areas and visited at the end of last Summer during a cities day trip. Both my boys loved it and it was a great time. Awesome park, large splash pad. Concession stand open, indoor bathrooms available. The park, splash pad, and indoor restroom facilities were in prestige condition. We will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Sarah W. 9 months ago on Google
    I came here one time to play catch with my buddy Lucky but we actually played pickleball. The courts are never too crowded which is nice. Sometimes the mosquitoes and frogs get pretty bad, which is the only downfall. They should look into a mosquito treatment or something. The frogs I don’t even know how to fix, though. I have an irrational fear of frogs and at night, they jump out into the sidewalk and I have to walk on the road to avoid them. Anyways, the park here is also very nice and there are many things to climb. The big open spaces are also nice for catch.

  • 5/5 Jim R. 7 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Beth B. 7 years ago on Google

    It's very nice and inclusive. Modern developmental play equipment and waiting area for the parents while they wait for kids is really nice. I enjoy taking my child there.

  • 5/5 Family’s fun review Y. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Lindsay S. 7 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Erik Q. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is fun for all of us. The best part is playing on the splash pad after playing on the equipment until you're sweaty. We haven't been there in the winter so I can't attest to the ice skating and fires they have.

  • 5/5 M W. 4 years ago on Google
    This park has EVERYTHING!!! Great bathrooms and changing rooms. Tables and many different sized playgrounds depending on how agile, small or big your children are. There is a lake and trail going around the lake plus in the summer has splash pad. I saw a fire place (outside) and I even saw a menu so they must have a snack bar. I will definitely be returning.

  • 5/5 Fynee C. 8 years ago on Google
    Great school

  • 5/5 Anto M. 2 years ago on Google
    MUST GO PARK!!! So much to explore and made as if all natural with big rocks to climb, mounds for the littles, and just so much to do! Seperate areas for toddler age and older age, yet also combined! Sooo many ropes to climb and look outs to view! When hot, they have a splash pad. When cold they have a skating rink! Big pond to walk around, indoor bathrooms with concessions.. Awesome unique swings! Big field for flying kites! Never have had a bad experience yet! Lots of diversity and everyone has always been so kind and friendly! If you have a sensory seeking kid, this is the park for them!! Multi ground textures: hard bouncy plastic, fake grass, real grass, cement, and real sand! High energy kid? Perfect park for them too! I bring my kids just as much for them, as myself! HA!

  • 5/5 William K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great warming house, lots of space and cubby’s to put shoes away to go skating. The loop is fantastic, nice slick ice. I went right before the zamboni went over it. Only thing to complain about was the music, it’s the same classical acoustic guitar songs. It got old quick. But a super fun place to skate. I would recommend not going on the weekend, it gets packed.

  • 5/5 Forrest K. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great park! We bring our dog Zena to walk here almost weekly! She loves it, and there's plenty going on during all months of the year. We live in the area and want to check out the skating rink this winter (I think we'll leave Zena home for that..).

    There are so many different areas of the park with activities for all. Green space to stroll around in, am immense playground for kids to enjoy, a splash pad during the summer, an ice skating rink in the shape of a loop, and a meditational labyrinth to find peace and tranquility.

    Unexpected delight. Great walking space, green space, playgrounds and splash pad. Staff was professional and kind. And place was not overrun on a Saturday morning. Loved the restrooms and family changing areas. Everything was clean and well maintained. A gem in Maple Grove.

    Wow this park is so full of life and so much activities for all ages. I loved the diversity of people. It is so clean and well maintained.

  • 1/5 Kiel K. 3 years ago on Google
    I’m sure it’s awesome for people who don’t live near it. Living next door is as far away from a winter wonderland as possible. The Christmas music is so loud I feel like Mariah Carey is screaming directly at my window. It’s so loud with windows closed and a TV on I can still hear the lyrics. Come on be courteous of your surrounding neighbors.

  • 5/5 Stephanie H. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing park. Very well designed, with lush green lawns, seating areas, a skating area, multiple playgrounds for various ages clustered together, and a fantastic splash padβ€”all near a beautiful lake. The water from the splash pad at the top of the hill can be seen and heard from the playgrounds. Superb. We will definitely be back, and will pack lunch next time!

  • 5/5 Shawn Montgomery A. 3 years ago on Google

    50Β° december day in Minnesota! lots of people enjoying the lakes area. But I actually think there's more geese than people, and lots of poop comes along with it.. You got to watch your feet the whole time you're walking
