Staring Lake Park — Attraction in Eden Prairie

They completely redid the playground and it's not user friendly anymore. They now have a huge, steep hill that leads down to another play area. The problem with the hill is that all the toddler toys are at the top of the hill, so I can't just let the toddler run around anymore. The worst part of the hill is that it is lined with sharp blocks at the bottom, so if the kid does fall and roll down the hill and they roll to the side they are going to get a huge gash. I'm a pretty laid back mom, but that area at the bottom of the hill is awful. I'm also mad they took out the awesome dual tube slides. Those things were great and the main reason we went to the park. The new toy additions are nice but the new layout has prevented me...

The park has a play area that is great for kids of just about all ages. There are multiple levels, paths, play sets and areas for the kids to play. The paths are made from a rubbery material that makes it road rash free if a child would fall.

There are great views of the lake, picnic tables, covered areas with tables and plenty of places to hike and explore. We actually ended up having our fall family photos done here and they turned out great.

There are also portable bathrooms located near the kids park as well. They came in very handy as our kids played here for hours since there was...

What an amazing park! We just discovered this one today ~ and I love all the different levels, great equipment, and easy to use for multiple ages.

We didn't get to use the food truck, but I'm attaching the poster for it (with times listed), because how smart is that? Great idea for the families that are there for almost two hours like we were!

Bonus points, for the shaded tables, the soft terrain (boy do I despise wood chips! 😅), and the easily accessed pathway which I'm hoping to check out next time :)
