Keene Creek Park — Attraction in Duluth

This place has been upgraded! I'm not sure why Keene Creek Park, Keene Creek Skatepark, and Keene Creek Dog Park are all listed as separate places. They all occupy the same general area with walking paths connecting them. It is really nice what they did with the place recently. But, due to its location, under the freeway, it can get a little loud. Even so, it can be peaceful with the creek running through it and the large shade trees. There is one bbq grill available at the park (we brought a portable grill just in case we needed it). Also there are two picnic tables in the grassy area next to the playground. The park has a bucket seat swing, a bigger swing for adults, ok, I think it's intended for two to three smaller kids but I've seen adults enjoying it too. And the coolest merry-go-round where the kids (or adults!) sit inside this giant green plastic upside-down "shell" and spin around. I had to try it. It was too fun looking to pass it by! Thank goodness for nieces and nephews. They give this Auntie a good excuse for playing and remind me to not take myself or life too serious. Playground was great! There's also a skatepark and basketball hoops directly across the path from the playground. My favorite part about the park is the shaded bridge, with the overhanging trees, that crosses over Keene Creek. There's also Keene Creek Dog Park a short stroll under the freeway and a designated parking lot that's closer to the dog park. Way to go City of Duluth! Keene Creek Park...

Despite being next to/under the freeway, a surprisingly quiet and peaceful little rec area. A playground for the kids, a park for doggies, a skate park and basketball court for everyone, and a cute little stream make this an almost daily walk destination for the folk in my neighborhood.

Two Pokémon GO gyms and multiple PokéStops sweeten the...

Nice park beside kids coming through trying to break things from park equipment to skate park stuff. Otherwise, it's a nice little park that needs a helping hand...
