Terrace Oaks West Park — Attraction in Burnsville

I have lived in Burnsville for most of my life and I grew up not that far from this park, but I never really checked out the trails until yesterday! Wow! What was I thinking? I should've been taking full advantage of this park! I'm so surprised that out of all the parks in Burnsville, Savage, Apple Valley, and Eagan, that I never really checked this one out! And over all of the years I lived in Burnsville, why didn't I ever check this out? I rode my Fat Bike there and as soon as I hit the trails, I instantly fell in love with the layout! The only thing I think they can change to make it better is, put up more trail maps along the way, so you can have a better idea of where you are most of the time! Otherwise, I can't think of anything else I would want to change, except maybe a few more trails or connecting trails! Other than that, I love this park and I garuntee that I will be there often now! Hopefully I'll see a lot of other people there...

The "trees" that they cut down that I see everyone complaining about are actually an invasive species called buckthorn which have, well, thorns on them and it drives out the native plant species. A good hilly run/walk as well. I wouldn't go xcountry skiing here because the hills...

I came here for the "Hike" (All trials) Great little hike. I was concerned based on some of the other reviews. This is a fairly easy trail, however there are some larger inclines and declines which will escalate it to a moderate trail.

Certain parts of it. There is some road noise from the highway, but nothing crazy. There was at least one intersection that had mountain bikers. If you're bringing younger kids, it may be a challenge at certain points. If you're going around the outside, there are multiple little shoot-offs that...
