Nicollet Commons Park

Nice park! Seen it on IG a few times and had no idea it was so close to the area I'm in a lot. We walked over after going to the coffee shop across the street. I like the natural looking splash pad and pond pools. Super nice play area for kids on warmer days. They had places to sit as well which is nice. I will say bring bug spray! The mosquitos are very aggressive near the water. Overall it's a nice water feature. Wasn't too busy when we went.

Kids enjoy hours of fun at this splash pad! They offer concerts and movies all summer long and Party on The Plaza events.

I too almost don't want to review as I don't want it to be insanely busy but it truly deserves 5 stars! Lots of neat features you don't see at other splash pads. We have gone every year (we live an hour away) and it's one of our favorites. Plenty of shade if you want it. Nearby parking ramp along with street parking and lots of places to lay on the grass or bring your chair. I have even seen smaller birthday parties here and it's a great park to do that. Also- there is bathrooms nearby and they are clean and don't smell!!

This place is a jewel! I almost hesitate to write about it for fear that all will flock there. It is like a little oasis situated right in the heart of Burnsville in front of the Ames Center. I wanted to go to take the kids. Pictures reminded me of a crisp stream. The place did not disappoint. There are so many connecting fountains, picnic tables, benches, grassy areas perfect for a date or family picnic. It's a small area but large. Within it you feel the sense of community, connectedness. My kids and I made a friend as they placed with a child and I talked with his mother, both first timers in amazement...and both working together to keep an eye of the kids with all the connecting fountains. There is plenty of parking and also public restrooms.right nearby near the Medittarian Cruise cafe. Visit this park, you wont be disappointed.

Great park with water rushing through the park right outside Ames Center. I saw this place on a pinterest and we have been there two days in a row. It's a bit of a hike from our place, but worth it for kids and adults when it's so hot and sticky out.Splash pad with the automated voice telling you when they are going to come on.Fountains and rock structures to climb on, sit and splash around on.Great place for summertime splashing. Plenty of places to sit, benches, lawn, rocks. I only wish it was closer.A few places to eat and of course the ice cream man.

Oh my goodness this place is incredible! By far the most interesting and well constructed splash park I have ever been to. You are in the heart of Burnsville but it feels like you are in nature exploring a babbling brook with little waterfalls. My kids had the time of their lives and talk about it all the time. I guess I know where we will be all summer! And it's totally free!
