Loring Park Playground

✓ Last confirmed for the 2022 season

Downtown Minneapolis's oldest park got the city's very first playground apparatus back in 1904 and still offers a playground and seasonal wading pool steps from the Berger dandelion fountain and community gardens. It remains a rare full-service green space at the edge of the city center.
