Confirmed from Nicollet 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.
Casual, secluded green space offering basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, plus a playground.
What runners say about Nicollet Park
Super fun pirate ship in the play area. Tennis, volleyball, basketball courts annnnnnd open area for kids to run wild through. The one star off is due to baseball diamond being in poor condition along with all the netting for the other sports courts.
This place is nice and quiet most of the time. I used to visit a lot. In the evenings is kinda busy tho. It needs a little care but, Is perfect just to chill or walk your dogs.

“Wish they opened the bathrooms earlier in the year to stay longer.”
