We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Eden Prairie Outdoor Center yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Eden Prairie Outdoor Center
I've never investigated all the offerings here but it's a nice place to go for a walk or just sit in the car and enjoy the view while getting away from the office.
Spring, summer, fall- my favorite place to get a walk or run in close to home.
This is a beautiful park and trail area near Staring Lake. There are playgrounds for kids, some docks/beaches, parking, and easy access to the trails around the lake. Several Pokemon Go stops and gyms, too, for those who play.
A fun little gem hidden in the middle of Eden Prairie. We saw the animals and the kids enjoyed it. A good little visit for kids under 10. There is a small playground and a pier to walk out on.
