Father Hennepin Bluff Park: what do users think?

Brian Wene: The events occurring here are consistently of very high value. I've watched films on the giant screen set up & have seen incredible talent showing their artistic greatness to eager crowds. Festivals are common during warmer times & good fun is had by all especially on warmer days.Restrooms: There are Men's & Women's restroom.Dog-friendliness: The park is a dog-friendly location.Picnic area: There are picnic areas.

Sadie Christensen: It was nice but really busy for my liking. But don’t get me wrong it was clean and well kept and nothing bad to say about the park itself. You will need to pay for parking which is fine for me but know they charge by the hour. It was worth checking out once for sure. But I like quieter parks to escape the city life. They even have paths for bikes and paths for walking.

Arunava Banerjee: Serene and calm!

george moeller: Nice bike paths.

Ana Cabrera: Great place to feel like an explorer.

jason williams: Love it

Grant Globus: PLEASE DONT LITTER

Richard Aizpuru: Jerk Station Rotisserie Chicken is a superb addition to food choices at the newly renovated park. Dave the owner and chef prepares an incredible jerk beef, chicken, lamb or tofu kebab, pita, or salad . I had the pita jerk beef : really fresh ingredients : great sweet pickle, hot peppers, tomatoes, onions and secret sauce.Jerk Station is a great destination walk from the Mill Museum as it is right at the end of the Stone Arch Bridge. Excellent fresh baked goods too!!Nice selection of beverages .

abellenin1: Beautiful park to walk and enjoy the weekend

Kennedy Kell: The lower trail is one of my favorite place to go in Minneapolis! It’s changed a bit since I was younger and made a bit ‘safer’ but still a fun place!

Elizabeth Lindig: Great trails, clean.

Kristen Mac: Great place for a walk by yourself or with your pet.

Susan Ramlet: Went to a great "walk and talk" today as part of the Great Northern Festival. Learned a lot about the history of this park and how it came about. What a treasure in the cities and in the neighborhood. A gift for the natural environment and all the flora and fauna that rely on the river. The naturalist was well educated and engaging. The visitors' center is a nice educational space.Playground: There are at least a couple of playgrounds in the park. One is natural by the visitor center, and the other is a large structure near the picnic space.Restrooms: Nice restrooms inside the visitors' center.

Natalia Davis: It's a big park with fun equipment for all ages. Nice scenery except for the homeless camp under the pavilion The splash pad/wading pool is open in the summer and a great place to cool off. You can tell it's old/worn out but it still works. Three Rivers takes good care of its parks and trails.

Gary Berg: I lime to take walks on the paths there

Alexandrea Chislum: It's a very beautiful family friendly place to walk around and sight see. Once the park opens I know it's going to be a great summer hangout spot. Oh they do have a ⛱️

Molly Evans: What a beautiful day for a walk and what a beautiful path around the lake! The only downfall was that there were porta potties only on one side of the lake, So when we had to go to the bathroom, we had to walk halfway around the lake to get to the bathroom. I am sure as the weather warms up that they'll open the other restrooms as well but in the meantime plan ahead!Restrooms: Only one set up bathrooms on one side of the lake and it's the opposite side of the lake as the main entrance.

Lorri Daniels: It's a park.

Sebastian Witzany: , easy to find, caribou coffee shop walking distance from the plunge site^¥^

Boom Island Park: what do users think?

Linda Novitt: Beautiful place so close to downtown

Sarah Survance: Very pretty park with a view of the skyline. In the springtime, there are lots of flowering trees which makes this an especially nice place to walk or picnic.

Vennamaneni Arpitha: Park with downtown views, picnic spot in downtownPlayground: Has play area for kids.Picnic area: Picnic spot in downtown, has good walking and cycling trails.

Akshaya Bhagavathula: As I explored the park, I was impressed by its well-kept facilities and variety of recreational options. The park features a boat dock, which makes it a popular launching point for boating and kayaking. Watching boats glide by on the river was a peaceful way to spend the afternoon, and the gentle sounds of the water added to the serene atmosphere.For those who prefer staying on land, the walking and biking trails are excellent for getting some exercise while enjoying the scenery. I took a leisurely walk along the trails and found several quiet spots perfect for sitting and enjoying the view, or even cracking open a book.One of the highlights of my visit was the picnic area, where I enjoyed a relaxed meal with a view. The picnic facilities are well-maintained, making it easy to spend several hours at the park without needing to leave for food or other necessities.Overall, Boom Island Park struck me as a fantastic spot for families, couples, or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city without actually leaving it. Its combination of natural beauty, recreational facilities, and stunning views makes it a must-visit park in Minneapolis. Whether you're looking for an active day out or a tranquil place to unwind, Boom Island Park offers something for everyone.

Olivia Gorial: I ran the Hot Chocolate 15k which started and finished at the Park. It was 9.3 miles in the Mills District area. Just a beautiful run along the river! What struck me the most was no trash in the streets or on the course. Even the runners here are mindful and polite. The best part was catching photos of the waterfalls and all the bridges. Seeing people out with their family and dogs was so refreshing too!

Corey Chapman: Nice Park with great views of downtown Minneapolis and the Mississippi River.

Quinn Kelley: Cool park by the river, the trees with the cool branches are so awesome and fun to climb. I'm glad they cleared most of the brush so that you can actually see the river and enjoy the unique trees!

David Langenberger: The ice gulchers were absolutely cool

Janelle Bey: Enjoyed the scenery

Jay Lobeezy: Nice park with parking for about 5 cars, so if you're there early it's a great place

Tony Sandvig: Great little park to enjoy a long lunch break. I brought my dog to work with me and we stopped here for a bite and a sniff. I sorta wish they could trim the trees along the river a bit. I like all the industrial happenings on the other side. Thats what i do!!

Jess Jay: Nice park

Darcy Running: Beautiful in late afternoon as it's the sunniest.

Tom Mulvihill: Nice little place parking was kind of hard to find
