Lions Coon Creek Park — Attraction in Coon Rapids

We LOVE the vastness of the playgrounds at Lions Coon Creek Park! There are several playgrounds on site, each tailored to a different age and developmental level. This makes for long and frequent visits without ever growing tired.

There's a sand play area that is a nice change in pace from all the running, climbing, and maneuvering the playgrounds require. There are also several swings available for use, which comes in handy with how busy this park is when we visit (during the day). Due to its size, it seems to be a popular spot for local school field trips.

The playgrounds are about a two-minute walk from the parking lot, so come prepared with a wagon or stroller if you have little ones. You'll also have to cross a wood bridge and some small hills/dips before hitting the playgrounds. The walk to the play area is beautiful.

Which could also harm a small child if he damaged it. He just looked at me, laughed, continued vandilising the swing, and told me " I am a little kid"

This is very sad and unacceptable. This use to be such...

Awesome playground and park!! The playground has a rubberized surface and lots of things to climb. We loved the music themed attachments to the playground!

The park has a shaded shelter to hide from the sun and lots of benches and picnic tables. Even the flowers and landscaping are pretty. What did notice a mobile police security camera which probably keeps an eye out in the parking for any suspicious...
