Lake Ann Park offers a wonderful, family-friendly place to spend a day, whether biking or jogging, hitting the beach, or playground.

The park itself offers a large sandy beach area for swimming, trails for walking and biking, & BBQs for grilling. The lake itself is non-motorized, though you can kayak, fish, or swim it in the summer, it maintains a quiet beauty of a classic Minnesota lake. The playground features a very large climbing structure, with offerings for your even your smallest kiddos. With three levels of slides, swings, tunnels, and more, this park will keep your kiddos happy all day.

This 102 acre suburban park is clean and well-maintained, and offers a pristine space for outdoor play. It features rolling hills, as well as some beautiful wooded areas. At the heart of this park is the gorgeous Lake Ann. This lake serves as a quiet, peaceful place to enjoy a Minnesota summer, as it's a non-motorized lake. You can also rent a canoe in the summer months, which is such a fun family activity.

There are plenty of parking spaces in the lot, so no need to search for street parking. In addition to ample BBQs, the park also offers many picnic tables, so bring your picnic basket along for this beautiful spot. Bathrooms with flushing toilets are available on-site at this park.

After enjoying this gorgeous park, head over to Cafe Thyme for some delicious bites for the whole family.
