This is a decent park overall…read more We like to walk here because the path is fully paved and it goes most of the way around the lake (Highland Lake). To get around the whole lake, you'll need to exit and walk on neighborhood roads in the same rotation that you've been moving and re-enter the park when you come across it again. I kind of wish that it went around the whole lake, but then again, I'm not a fan of eminent domain and steamrolling things. So I'll take it as is. There are newer benches throughout, plus a pavilion, plus grills and a small playground. Geese and ducks love the lake and rarely come on land, so hopefully no goose attacks are in your future. I cannot guarantee that, however. The parking lot is big, unless there are a lot of people there. Then it's not big enough. ;-) As I always say, "Better a Kordiak than a cardiac!" (Actually, I've never said that. Um, never mind!) Though it is good to get out and walk, I will say. (I do actually say that.) That's my 23 cents on this dealio.

I love this park and consider myself so lucky to live close by. The walking and biking trails…read morestretch for miles and seem almost endless. They also follow the Mississippi which makes for a truly calming and serene experience. The playground is huge! There are things for every age group. My only dislike is that it is a sand playground but the kids love it so I can't complain too much. There are picnic shelters and a lot of unsheltered grills with one picnic table which I don't believe require reservations. The interpretive center building is a great place for kids to play and explore. It has a little golf putting area, animal costumes and so much more. You could easily spend an hour in there and the staff are so nice. We're excited to try the wading pool this summer!

North Mississippi Park convinced me to live in North Minneapolis…read more I come here for the playground, which is a bit larger than your typical Minneapolis playground. It is rarely crowded, maybe bc not many people could walk here. I always bring my camera bc it is so freaking gorgeous by the river. The park get busier when the wading pool opens, but we have wading pools closer to our house. I also love taking my kids right down to the shore. Too bad I'm not any good at skipping stones. On the south side of the park is a great Nature Center. Kroening has some great programs and many of them are free! It also has a little history information on the neighborhood which is cool.

A cute little neighborhood park…read more Play equipment suitable for young children. A small pavilion. The best part is the view of the pond. We saw a heron take wing when we were there.

This is an amazing Disc Golf Course for beginners…read more I have gone here two times over the last month with a bunch of friends and it has always been great. The holes are pretty good distances, well kept, and very scenic. The course is crowded usually, but not in an unbearable way at all. It is one of the harder courses to lose a disc at, except for the 13th hole (the last one). Just be careful to stay to the right so you don't end up in the river!

I've driven past this park many times as it was being built and figured it was time to check it…read moreout! Parking: There are free two parking lots but neither is overly large. You may need to street park and walk. The playground is colorful and has lots of fun equipment. I noticed there are definitely wheelchair accessible items for kids to play on. The ground is a mix of rubber and wood chips. There is a volleyball court, basketball court, fishing dock and public grills. There are also indoor bathrooms and a filtered water bottle station. I was very impressed with how well maintained this park seems to be! There is a beach here, however geese have taken it over and there was a ton of poop all over the sand. I would not swim here. If you haven't checked this park out yet, you need to! Your kids will love it! The ice cream truck also makes stops here!

What a great park. I was in town the other month for work…read more I made it a point to try or 2 of the disc parks on town before I left. My third day in town I made it up to Hansen Park. I had read something about the course having the original basket design, but I didn't really know what I was getting into. I arrived to a beautiful Minnesota park. some geese were about, and plenty of people having fun about 5pm. I started on the first whole, and found that the course on UDisc was different with odd par 6 options But the 1st basket I could see, on the left side of a pond. i played it well, but found that the old school baskets were tougher to drop the disc in. I nailed that one but the next couple holes got me. It's really is an idealic park. Undulating hills and good vibes were everywhere. If you like disc golf, or just a pretty park, this is a good one.
