Confirmed from Arden Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Recreation area on 18 acres along a creek with hockey & ice skating, paths, playground & picnicking.
What runners say about Arden Park
“It was peaceful and beautiful then, and even more so now after it's recent improvements.”
Great park in winter or summer. Playgrounds, fields, trail, ice rink, warming house, woods. Very nice park for the city. Well maintained. Always a pleasure to walk and see birds and other wildlife. Nice for a stroll or for kids to play with neighbors. Altogether a great spot!
Beautiful park surrounding Minehaha creek. Something for everyone: trails, playground, green spaces and wildlife. Great access to the creek too for tubing or wading.
Very pretty park. Many people running, kids riding bikes, and walkers. A play area for kids, and a building with a bathroom. Lots of benches.
Beautiful area for walking. We had family photos taken and can't wait to see how they turned out! Edit: they turned out amazing!
