Centennial Lakes Park451
in Minneapolis, MN 55435about Centennial Lakes Park:
This 24-acre manicured park features a lake, over a mile of stroller-friendly paved paths, a shrubbery maze, miniature golf, rental pedal boats, lawn bowling, croquet, and an amphitheater hosting free entertainment during the summer. Swinging wooden benches line the shady paths.
In the winter, the lake becomes an enormous (and free) ice skating rink, with skates, Norwegian ice sleds, hot chocolate, and snacks available for a fee in the Park Centrum Building, which is open to the public as a warming house complete with restrooms and fireplaces.
In warmer weather, fishing is allowed and spectators can watch the remote-controlled vessels of the Edina Model Yacht Club ply the placid waters.
The Maetzold Amphitheater at the south end of the lake hosts performances all summer, with noon events most Tuesdays and Thursdays especially for kids. (That series of free shows continues indoors at Edinborough Park September through May.)

tips:
Paddleboaters who steer close to the geyser fountain at the north end of the lake should be prepared (or have permission!) to get very wet - a whirlpool effect makes it hard to get away from the spout once you're near it.
getting there:
Located behind Centennial Lakes Plaza, extending beyond 76th Street to the south and Parklawn Avenue to the north. Plenty of free parking is available on the lower level of the ramp that runs between the two sections of the shopping center.
