Confirmed from Meadowlands 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.
Neighborhood spot offering swings and slides, plus an open playground with a climbing wall.
What runners say about Meadowlands Park
I walk my dog here. There is a little loop, a medium loop, and a big loop; great for when you don't know how overheated your pooch may feel once they start walking. The wildlife is also neat to see.
Nice walking path through the park. Saw a coyote and some turtles by the pond.
Love this little park. 2 swings and 2 toddler swings, a couple slides and some monkey bars, and some equipment to climb on it all. Basketball court, connected to the highline trail and a baseball diamond and soccer field. There are also a few benches throughout.
Eagan boasts about having 60 parks in the Eagan area. Each one is unique to what they offer. Each park is located within a neighborhood or two. This park offers a lot of activities for the area and a wide open area.
