    Playground details! Here's the scoop. There is a smaller playground on the east side. That's where the rocket is. The west side, entrance on Victoria, is where the BIG playground is and it is fantastic. It feels like it has everything. Big slides (including a really long rolly-slide). Accessibility. Musical section. Tunnel. Zip lines. Different merry-go-rounds. Swings. Climbing everything. Little kid stuff, big kid stuff. I like that it's mostly astroturf or the rubber flooring, only woodchips are by the swings (woodchips and my baby do not mix). Plus, a gorgeous view of the lake on one side and a beautiful fountain in a big pond on the other. To get to the big playground map "Central Park Victoria West". You can walk between them on the path, but you have to drive all the way around the park to get to the other parking lot. There's also a paved walking path, nice looking tennis courts, and lots of picnic tables. One thing it does not have in the cold season is a bathroom. Sign said closed for the season until April 15th. There's a port-a-potty, but today it was unusable as it hasn't been attended to in who knows how long. We had to drive across the street to the port-a-potty at the baseball diamonds. I don't know about the east side, but I'm guessing it's the same. We'll definitely go back many times and I will report back.

    Worth the drive for people who don't live nearby. There are 3 playground areas, including a rocket ship! There's something for every age child!

    One of the best parks in the twin cities. Excellent trails and amenities that are well maintained.

    Love the paved and bog trails! Great for jogging and family photos! And, great mushroom findings.

    Great walking trails! Lots of activities for families and team sports. There are a couple playgrounds, picnic areas and restrooms. The park is dog-friendly and all dogs I've seen have been on leashes with their very respectful humans.

    Very clean park. Kids have a blast and the Rocket Ship is the main attraction!

    This is a nice, but busy, family park with a lake, wetlands, picnic areas, playgrounds, volleyball and baseball, and a nature center. We parked in the Victoria St. lot and crossed the road to head into the dawn through the wetlands to the memorial gardens and orchard. We circled back along the south side path and saw 2 deer. Crossing the road we walked around Bennett Lake. There were still some wood ducks and a pied billed grebe around in addition to the Canada geese and mallards. The park is heavily used and even at dawn there were plenty of people and dogs circumnavigating the lake.

    Absolutely love this huge park. Gorgeous walking paths around the lake, two awesome playgrounds - each with its own pavilion - and courts for tennis, bocce ball, and volleyball... Plus quite a few Pokestops and gyms, convenient to the playgrounds! What more can you ask for?

    What an awesome park! We loved the tower rocketship and climbing up to the top! Another big play structure is there too and some picnic tables, and benches. We will definitely be returning to explore a bit more because there seemed to be a trail maybe too?

    Nice park, couldn't see too much of the lake due to all the green leaves and algae.

    There is a great jungle gym with an older kid section and a toddler area. The play area is at the back of the amphitheater area, so you can listen to concerts while playing on the jungle gym. The park is also very clean, and it has great flowers in the summer.

    We love this park. It’s the perfect place for PICNICS, ROLLERBLADING, or BIKE RIDING. There’s a very nice walking path, a HUGE ROCKET SLIDE, a very nice play area for baby to 11yr old. They also have a PORTA-POTTY for bathroom use, a BASEBALL BALL FEILD, and a VENUE for parties/events. I originally found out about the park because my sister had her baby shower here last year.

    This park among many others is part of what makes Roseville a fantastic place to live. Central Park has a lot to offer. We especially love the shelter that you can rent here that has a fire pit. Kids love the park here and it's an awesome place to walk your dog.

    The walking path goes around a small lake/pond but it's always full of cool birds and I love watching as I walk. Nice playground, amphitheater and even an adult workout course.

    GREAT park for lots of ages. Even when it’s busy there’s still lots to do. Kids there were so polite too!

    Nice clean park with restrooms, playground, seating and food servi e area. Parking may be a challenge but check off site.

  • 5/5 Eli W. 11 months ago on Google
    Great walking trails and well-maintained playgrounds at both sides of the park for kids. Can be pretty busy with families of young children especially on weekends, but the areas away from the playgrounds are fairly quiet

  • 5/5 Charles B. 11 months ago on Google
    A beautiful place for a Sunday family gathering with shelters, new well designed playground and a shaded pathway to walk around a lake but what I enjoyed the best was the plethora of brightly colored benches to rest and enjoy the nature and the people.

  • 5/5 Naomi H. 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful paved walking trails around a beautiful lake. A great place to walk your dog. Clean bathrooms and parking lots with lots of parking.

  • 5/5 Rowan F. 3 years ago on Google
    Paved footpaths, various sports courts and shelters, picnic tabkes, Bbq and lots of benches overlooking the lake. Great place to walk, hangout with mates, or study.

  • 4/5 Sarah C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great new park for all ability range of children. Shade, places for adults to sit, and no blind spots with in the play area. Sense of security and multiple active areas to keep your young one busy.

    I love this park - my mom used to take us here when we were young and we'd walk the lake and stop at both playgrounds (with the bigger one being the favorite)... the path used to have workout stations where you could do pull-up or sit-ups or whatever the station called for. Those stops aren't there anymore, but the path is still really great to walk. They've made some improvements over the years (nice little waterfall feature, some benches, tables, swings). I think the path around the lake is roughly 1 mile, give or take depending on which turns/route you take. The park has volleyball courts, baseball fields, tennis courts, an amphitheater type setup with a beautiful staggered hill overlooking it, and an old school rocket slide that been there since I was a kid! I just really love this park for a walk.

    It is my favorite place to go walking and I can get to many different places in a very short time. I find it really amazing how far the trails go to in many different directions!

    It’s a really nice park. There are walking paths, biking paths, a fishing pier, a bandshell, pavilions, grills, sports fields. Good for dog walking, good for kids to play (there’s a couple playgrounds and a cool retro rocket slide). There are Pokémon stops and gyms. It extends from Lexington to Dale. There’s an osprey nest for bird watching, a wetlands for goose watching, and a bog with boardwalk paths. There’s an arboretum - great place for taking photos. There’s a wildlife rehabilitation center where you can bring injured wildlife. This park - it’s just super cool.

    Central Park on the Fourth of July was fantastic. Not too crowded. Good food trucks. A nice chill family friendly atmosphere. The firework show itself went on for over 25 minutes and was quite impressive. The new park they’ve put in for kids is really cool. The lake itself has algae but doesn’t smell bad thankfully. The walking trails are paved and nice, it’s relaxing walking on the winding path through the woods.

    Beautiful urban park with a fountain in the pond/small lake, nice playground, very cool restored rocket ship playground sculpture and awesome bandshell area for enjoying outdoor concerts. Lots of seating on soft grass and easy paths. A good amount of parking but during Rosefest concerts we had to park a couple blocks away since it was so popular!

    Nice park. Softball and volleyball fields are nice. Great park for a walk but it can get busy. Parking can get full if its a busy night so plan ahead.
