Bryant Lake Regional Park — Attraction in Eden Prairie

Bryant Lake Regional Park offers a good-sized space with pleasant walking trails, making it a suitable location for a small picnic. The well-maintained beach by the lake is a highlight, featuring shaded areas with picnic benches for added convenience. Additionally, the park includes a large dog park and a well-maintained play area for children.

However, despite these positive aspects, I have concerns about safety at this park. The golf disc course has been a recurring issue, posing a risk to hikers on the trail. Unfortunately, my wife experienced a painful incident four years ago when she was hit in the face by a flying disc, resulting in a bloody nose and a lasting scar. Although a sign was erected to warn hikers about the discs, it remains unsafe for them to navigate the trail. Consequently, I do not recommend bringing babies and kids on hikes, especially during busy summer months when golf disc players are prevalent.

In light of this safety risk, I am giving Bryant Lake Regional Park a two-star rating. While the amenities and beach area are enjoyable, the hazards posed by the golf disc course are significant. Visitors should exercise caution and consider sticking to the beach area to ensure a safer experience.

We have been 3 times the summer of 2023, and we love it. Big recommend from our family with kids ages 9 months to...

Nice dog park! Has a double gate containment area on entrance, along with a water wash off area for dirty dogs. Tons and tons of poop bag containers around the entire park. The small dog area is accessible from the very first gate so those who don't want to mingle with the bigger dogs don't have to walk through the park to get to the small dog section. There is a small covered shelter area.

Nice trailed area that does take you away from the big open ball playing field. The trails won't take you too long to do, and it's impossible to get to them without walking near the big field. So if you have a friendly dog, but one who you avoid the larger crowds with, this might be doable. Parking is $5 per car, or a yearly...
