I love this small, neighborhood park and all it has to offer within a seemingly small space! Love seeing neighborhood kids enjoy the playground and swing set, or the kiddie pool in the summertime.

Read moreWe live where there's a park in every direction. Mueller is pretty much just okay, period. We have a 3-year-old, and for his age group, it seems that Loring's wonderful new playground is magical by comparison, albeit often with less kids; for sheer number of kids, Whittier can't be beat, and it feels much more open and inviting than Mueller Park. Bryant Park and the other park nearby on Lyndale, across from Twin Town Guitars, I'd say, are a bit better than Mueller. This all being said, Mueller is okay, we take our little one there. Based upon his choices, it's just...
