    A much loved park nestled within the Powderhorn neighborhood. This park seems to almost be the lifeblood of this neighborhood. It’s as if it’s everyone’s backyard and front porch where neighbors come to walk, talk, stroll, exercise, play with their children and walk their dogs. The park has beautiful rolling topography, a sweet lake with a concrete walking path that encircles the entire lake, a really cool splash pad, small wading pool, several nice playground, ball fields a and a small stage. The park is many acres and interspersed with lots of old trees. A lovely place.

    Eagles and hawks need I say more! One of the best kept secrets in my neighborhood. All the different events that happened at this place the great start to the spring where the MayDay Parade ends. Art festivals and neighborhood Sports a super clean Park with tons of space to hang out in the shade. Here's a couple pictures of snowshoeing in the winter time.

    Family friendly park. Great facilities, easily accessible and good amount of parking. They have events occasionally in the amphitheater area. Went to the fire dancing show recently. Surprisingly not too many bugs. Place is clean and the people who visit are super nice. I really like walking around here.

    Been going to this park since I was a kid. It's a nice lake to walk around. There are many events here during the year. Great place to play baseball or basketball. Too much dog poop laying around. Be careful if you leave the path!!

    Yesterday was the great spring festival of Mayday, a parade and celebration performance in the park the first Sunday in May, well worth the effort to get there and see the amazing puppets dancers & musicians! Lots of food trucks and community for the first day of MN Spring!

    Our neighborhood park is a gem in the city. There are several jungle gyms spread around the lake geared toward different age groups. There are fields for sports. The recreation building has a basketball gym and offers classes year round for tumbling, dance and my personal favorite - ceramics. The zero depth entry pool has water spouts and a mushroom falls (there is NO shade for the pool though... so bring sun screen). We bring our children here daily during the summer and meet our neighbors and make new friends all the time. A wonderful community gathering spot.

  • 5/5 christina marie J. 1 year ago on Google
    For a small park it has a lot to offer. There is a path around the small lake to walk around. There is also a baseball diamond. And even an area for children to play in the summer like a splash pad and there is a playground. There are also Biffs for you to use the restroom. Small parking lot on site but plenty of parking on the streets. Expect to walk a few blocks if there is a big event going on at Powderhorn.

  • 5/5 Kirsten P. 2 years ago on Google
    Easily one of the most beautiful and unique sanctuaries in the midst of South Minneapolis, and there are a plethora worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Victor C. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty. Lively. A huge gem in the crown of Minneapolis parks.

  • 5/5 Eduardo Gómez R. 1 year ago on Google
    The park is just the right size to walk around it all and not get tired. it is very quiet. Saturday and Sunday there is baseball and sometimes cultural events.

  • 5/5 Steve R. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful day the park was in great shape. Love the paths and the lake. The kids loved the playground and basketball court.

  • 4/5 Mrs. Higher P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice park to walk around.

  • 1/5 Erik The R. 1 year ago on Google
    About what you would expect for a Southside Minneapolis park. Homless, drug needles, all over the place. Looks like it used to be a nice park. Not anymore

  • 4/5 Corneilous H. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge beautiful park and lake. Have gone here several times for peace of mind and to enjoy nature ever since I was a child

  • 5/5 Melissa W. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this park. We got to hang our hammocks here by the playground. Plenty of trees to do that. The pond is lovely, but they also have a nice wading pool for kids.

  • 4/5 Tony W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful lawns and trails. Love the views at different times and seasons. The lake in winter is so picturesque. My puppy Bella Marie loves it

  • 3/5 Aric B. 1 year ago on Google
    We went during the art fair. It's a great park, at a great location. Parking is a challenge when it's busy. The grounds are looking a bit rough...

  • 5/5 Michael B. 1 year ago on Google
    Laid an old friend to rest in the park recently. What a long strange trip it’s been. It had been a decade or more since I last saw Chuck Dogg until the night on the light rail platform in DT Mpls. It had been enough time that Chuck didn’t recognize me. OK maybe it was the night of the zombie pub crawl and I had makeup on my face. It took me a minute to convince him of who I was. He looked the same as I remembered. He was the same as I remember. We shared pleasantries and small talk and made plans to link up in the future. Sadly we never made good on those plans and now we won’t be able to. Sorry about that old friend. You’ll be missed.

    My wife and I had a casual stroll here on a Sunday and it was relatively empty except for maybe 15 people scattered about. Good place to chill n hang out, plus they have baseball feilds, a large pond (or small lake?) You can paddle a canoe around in, and lots of benches.

  • 4/5 Nicole E. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful park! Our dogs loved the many paved walking paths around the water. Our 5 year old enjoyed the multiple small playgrounds. Street parking only. Recommend.

  • 5/5 JAIRUS B. 9 months ago on Google

    It is a beautiful park to go to. It is one of the few parks that don't have homeless living there.

  • 5/5 Chris R. 4 years ago on Google
    The annual Art Fair at Powderhorn Park should be added to your to do list. Located in Minneapolis the neighborhood beside the park is an interesting mix of cultures and lifestyles. There was a good selection of food available at this years Art Fair.

  • 4/5 Ron F. 3 years ago on Google
    Peaceful and would recommend that others visit this park located on Southside minneapolis in a semi-decent neighborhood

  • 5/5 Roshan R. 3 years ago on Google
    Great spot for walk, burning energy of children, or simply exploring nature. Diverse fauna, botanicals and playground equipment. Worth a trip.

    This is a really nice park. Perfect for a family picnic or just stopping for a cup of coffee to chat with a friend.

  • 3/5 Alan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice park in the middle of the Powderhorn neighborhood. There are two playgrounds, a community center, 3 softball fields, a soccer field, plenty of open space, and an outdoor concert platform. Great for sledding in the winter.

  • 5/5 Eric L. 3 years ago on Google
    This park is great - I play pick up soccer and frisbee here, there's the amazing May Day parade - during COVID-19 distancing yourself from others is critical and there is TONS of space to pair off or host a small circle of friends. For me the kicker is the tennis courts - they're well maintained, there's 4 of them, so most anytime you'll be guaranteed a court immediately or with a short wait. The only issue with the tennis courts is that the high school nearby uses them after school during tennis season... good luck landing a court then...

  • 5/5 Diana C. 3 years ago on Google
    Very peaceful, even in the rain..

  • 4/5 Andre H. 3 years ago on Google
    This park is awesome. I'm from Salt Lake, and this is the size of some of our biggest (in city) parks. It was beautiful, and made for a great picnic. Four stars only because a few of the homeless camps were kind of trashy.

    Great playground for kids from just walking to maybe around 8? My 5 year old loved it and we were there, and busy, for 1.5 hours. Beautiful setting, newer equipment, and a lot of variety.

👍👍 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....
