Confirmed from Shoreview Commons 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.
Recreational area with a playground, skateboard park, soccer, and picnic tables, plus a public restroom.

EDIT: 5 Stars now that it has permanent restrooms and morw water fountains! This is a beautiful playground and has something for all ages. Adults could even enjoy their time here trying the various monkey bars and mini obstacle / ninja course. There are multiple plant beds to catch rainwater run off.
I visited the Shoreview Commons Farmers Market on a Tuesday and enjoyed browsing the many vendors. The market was nicely spread out, making it easy to walk around and visit each booth.
Excellent park! Grear all around park. Plenty of spots for sports or just hanging out at the shelters. Nice trails that lead to other areas if the park. Also has smaller playgrounds throughout the park and trails.
Great park! As you can see on photos its beautiful and big. Theres a place with shade where you can relax and have lunch.
