    Large play structure is nice for kids with plenty of slides and about 5 or 6 swings (one swing structure). The only reason I'm saying 4 stars is because I would really love to see a smaller separate area for the toddler age kids to access along with a few more covered picnic area options as there is really one one primary spot.

    This is a great park with stuff for all ages. My daughter loves the zip line. I just wish they would fix the tunnel, it's been boarded up all summer/fall.

    This has so much to do! Tons of soccer fields. Many look to be sized for high-school and adults but they also have nets and smaller fields for the younger crowd. A nice baseball field with covered seating for the players. Walking paths that lead out to the neighborhoods or further into the qooded area. HUGE playground. Plenty of parking. Indoor toilets.

    ONLY REVIEW YOU NEED TO READ. Wow, Lakeville has done it again, this park…. Where do I begin, this fine establishment is equipped with fantastic swings that don’t even squeak that much , which is an outstanding trait for something you will sit next to for a solid hour. The colors on this park are vibrant and fresh yet not tacky or over-the-top, it blends in with the surrounding browns and greens. The seating options seem endless, from park benches to tables you will not be disappointed. If you want to make it a lunch date with your kiddos their are ample tables, just want to sit and watch your heathens wild out on the slides, they have you covered for every angle. There is a nice plush mulch base and soft landing pads under swings, monkey bars and slides. The surrounding area is all soccer fields so while you let your kids wear themselves out you can sling a ball for your mutt and come out on the backside of the day with a quiet and worn down household. Bravo, to everyone involved with this park.

    My kids love this park! It's been recently renamed so it's no longer Steve Michaud Park. There are plenty of things to do here for all ages, but my kids especially love the twirly type equipment.

    Awesome park

  • 5/5 Frederik S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a park with a Zipline. 5/5 wish I had this as a kid. Oh and I guess it's big and well maintained and has a bunch of other awesome stuff for kids. But we call it the Zipline park for a reason!

  • 5/5 Anna B. 1 year ago on Google
    This park is super fun for kids of all ages. Tons of soccer fields, bathrooms that are open during peak summer months (cooler months had portal potties), a seated zip line, and tons of climbing/slides perfect for elementary aged kids. Benches and picnic tables are placed around the main playground - great for parents to chat while kids play. This has quickly become a new favorite park destination for my Kindergarten and First grade aged kids. Can get super busy weekend afternoons, but definitely worth adding to your park rotation!

    Great massive park for the kids! It's so large that it's difficult to keep an eye on your kids. The kids love it here.

  • 5/5 Amanda S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is great park! Fun playground, soccer fields, walking trail, and nice restrooms.

  • 4/5 April H. 4 years ago on Google
    This park has a grate playground and there are soccer fileds. There is not a barhroom with running water but it does have porta potties. The play ground is good for kid who like to climb. There is a zip line slides swings and lots of platforms to climb onto.

  • 4/5 Mike G. 1 year ago on Google
    great set up. parking can be nuts during soccer tournaments.

  • 5/5 Teresa J. 1 year ago on Google
    Well kept soccer fields and playgrounds. Picnic tables next to the playground. Very dog friendly, lots of dogs there. A lot of parking. Porta potty by the playground was pretty messy.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    My kids love this park. One of the best playgrounds in the area. The overall park is very nice to walk around as well. Gets crazy some days due to soccer or other activity. Only downside is entering/exiting the parking lots can be tricky at times due to normal traffic flow on Ipava is generally high anyways.

  • 3/5 Nate J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great 5 star park to bring older kids (K-5) to play. Gets incredibly congested though during soccer games. Many a "near miss" from cars almost hitting pedestrians and rushed parents honking at each other over parking spots.

  • 5/5 Anna B. 11 months ago on Google
    This is a great playground! It's a larger one with plenty of things for the kids to play with. This one has wood chips on the ground. Lots of parking and easy to get to.

  • 5/5 Steph 9 months ago on Google
    Great park for kids of all ages. Soccer fields are great!

  • 5/5 greyfoxice 5 months ago on Google
    Fantastic park! Great for kids ages 2-10 probably not older than 11 though. But none the less the park is huge and has bathrooms, seating and a lot of trees for shade.

    Super fun park for kids of all ages! Big enough for parents to run around on with their kids. So many cool things, kept my kids entertained for hours. So glad they've done nothing but improve this park over the years!

  • 5/5 Ben 3 years ago on Google
    This is a nice playground and park! A bigger than average outdoor playground with lots of things to do for younger and older kids. Very popular is the zip line, of course. Always ample parking spaces. Two porta-potties available. Lots of open field space to run around in too.

  • 5/5 Christopher M. 3 years ago on Google
    Thanks to the Lakeville Rotary Club and their fundraising to put together a great playground set for the kids. My daughter just loves it. #lakevillemn #lakevillemnrotary #carolinethailand #dakotacounty

    Nice open space. Good playground for kiddos

  • 5/5 Scott W. 4 years ago on Google
    Great dog walking park and it would be great if those very few people who don't pickup after their dogs would do so. Makes you think what people like that keep their house and bathrooms cleaned.

  • 5/5 Michelle F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great park easy to visit. If going during a soccer tournament show up early so you can find a spot to park and walk or get a ride.

  • 5/5 Rhoda M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Park! Water features, slides and swings for all ages and abilities, covered eating areas, lots of seating

  • 4/5 Melissa M. 4 years ago on Google
