I've visited this park twice now to use the pickleball courts. As of my last visit, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are free play days, while Tuesday and Thursday require a reservation. Court reservations are currently $8 per hour and must be booked over the phone or in person at their office, which is located in another area. There are four pickleball courts and one tennis court, and they're just a short walk from the parking lot. read more

This is a small, but extremely pleasant park. It is not a big park, but it is pleasant and enough people were here to see that it is a pretty popular park. Minnehaha Park, by the way, it is certainly a uniquely named park. I enjoyed the walking path and the pleasant water views. The parking lot was appropriately sized and decently maintained. The park was well-kept and overall, I enjoyed my time at Minnehaha Park. read more

Groundkeepers should pay more attention to weeds and ant mounds. Our 16-month-old granddaughter stepped on a mound two weeks ago and was bitten all over. Went back today, and the mound is still there! Plus, weeds are growing through the fake turf. Moreover, people with dogs WITHOUT LEASHES even inside the NO PETS ALLOWED play areas. Their excuse? "Dogs need to exercise too". Well, have you ever heard of dog parks? FOLLOW THE RULES! Maitland needs to pay better attention to the maintenance duties. read more

I wish I knew about this place sooner! Minnehaha Park is located in Maitland right by the Howell Branch Rd & 17/92 Orlando Ave intersection. It borders Lake Minnehaha, and is connected by a tunnel that goes under Howell Branch Rd to Jim Houser Azalea Garden and Covered Bridge Park. The tunnel itself has some beautiful artwork and is part of the 1.1 mile Minnehaha loop trail, ideal for biking, birding & trail running. The tunnel also has a canal that connects Lake Minnehaha to Lake Nina, which connects to Lake Maitland. There is a boat launch next to the tunnel, but it is not suitable for motor boats. The park has plenty of big oak trees for shade, and a lovely boardwalk that goes down by the lake with informational signs about the local plants and flora. Down by the lake, there's picnic tables in pavilions with grills, and a dock with some benches for a nice scenic overlook. The park also has other amenities including two tennis courts, exercise equipment along the trail, a modern playground that is fenced in and has multiple sections, bathrooms and water fountains. This park is pet friendly as well and has plenty of pet waste stations available. I really love that Minnehaha Park has multiple uses, and has maintained a lot of beautiful local plants. There are wetland plants, cypress trees, big oaks, and more! There was a little bit of trash near the docks, so please don't forget to leave no trace when you visit! read more

Minnehaha Park is a well kept park with amenities in Maitland. They have a playground, tennis courts, picnic tables, a fitness trail, and restrooms. My favorite part is the boardwalk that loops around to a small lake. This is an easy stroll and a pretty view to spend some time relaxing. Watch out for a few bugs/gnats which are to be expected around water in Florida. I like the layout of the park too as it feels open. The parking lot is a tad small but other than that this is a great place to take kids or even adults who want to enjoy a relaxing afternoon outdoors. read more

We love this park! Minnehaha has a covered playground with a new jungle gym, as well as swings and a smaller area for smaller children. What circles the park is a great pathway that leads to a wooden walkway above a wetland and a lake overlook. A large green space is in the center, great for a pickup soccer game, and there are tennis courts. A fantastic neighborhood park with something for everyone! read more

Boardwalks and tennis Minnehaha Park is an eight acre park located on Lake Minnehaha. Like most parks on lakes in Florida, Minnehaha Park has a great boardwalk for fishing, photography or just walking. It's amazing how the parks department can keep all these boardwalks in such pristine condition. My decks start to degrade in only one year even with water seal. The park also has some beautiful and very well maintained tennis courts. Two are lighted for after dark play and as far as I could tell there was no fee. The park also has one large and two smaller pavilion type structures and several benches scattered around. A nice playground, a cool outdoor calendar thing and very clean indoor bathrooms are also present. Not the largest park and more suitable for a casual stroll than any serious walking the park does offer a great place to play tennis or hang out on a very pleasant boardwalk to watch the birds or perhaps gators. read more

Great park for toddlers and even infants. Enclosed playgrounds so your little one can't run off anywhere. Very clean and safe. Partial coverage from the sun for some shade. Clean bathrooms and water fountain are available. I'm impressed read more

Minnehaha Park - Artificial turf for little ones to crawl around - Parks Near Me - Maitland, Florida

What a nice and tranquil park. I parked at this part because I wanted to get to the other side called Covered Bridge park. What I did not know was how beautiful this park was and that it actually has a Short boardwalk the covers the area around the Lake showing the different types of trees and plants in the grassy mossy area. What I also noticed was this is a very dog friendly park their. There's good walking trails. They have tennis lessons and people play pickle ball. The cypress trees are gorgeous wonderful for those who like taking photographs. It is currently 7:15 p.m. and there are children playing in the playground. This is also a nice time for good walk it has the life trail system for those who are in wheelchairs or are older for exercise. What's really cool about this park is if you walk to the for this part after the tennis courts there you can actually walk under the bridge and go to the other side of the street for safety purposes and that is were the Covered Bridge park is. D pickle ball courts are lit up for play. The park stays open Wednesday night until 10:00 p.m. read more

Great Park! They have a very nice playground for kids & a great running/walking trail with stops for exercises (see photos). It also connects to a park across the street by going under a bridge. The day we went the board walks were closed, so that made our run short. But we did 3 laps around & checked out all the stations. I will diffidently be going back here so I can see what the board walk have to offer. read more

This was a really nice park that had 2 small playgrounds (one for toddlers and one for small children up to 12) which are surrounded by fences which was nice to see so small ones cant run out. Kids older then 12 wouldn't have much fun as the equipment isn't much other then things to climb on and 2 swings. There are tennis courts, a nature trail, and exercises to do as you walk, they also had a small field where some kids were playing flag football. What we liked is the trail is very shaded with all the trees and the bathroom was very clean (my son said it was the cleanest park bathroom he had ever seen lol). This is a park that we will visit again next time we would like to take a nice walk & enjoy the beauty of the park and the nature around it. read more
