★★★★★Quinton LeePlayed the Theodore Wirth Par 3 and it’s a fun, quick, and easy course that’s perfect for getting some swings in without a long round. The trailhead check-in area is a great open spot to start, and the staff are always kind and welcoming when you stop in.
★★★★★Aliaksandr MatusevichOne of my favorite mtb trails in Metro area. Plenty of trails for any skill level. A nice place to eat and park your vehicle.
★★★★Scott WWe have made a tradition of coming here the day after Thanksgiving. I am from out of town, visiting family and friends. The building is a perfect space for bringing a large group together for games, chatting, eating, and sledding on the snowy hills just outside the doors. They used to serve hot food, but they no longer have that option. The food was not consistent or anything all that special, but it was a nice option. This time we brought Thanksgiving leftovers and some breakfast bagel sandwiches. The space is well maintained and clean. It is spacious and has lots of room for young kids to run around and not be a disturbance. Always look forward to coming here.
★★★★★Explore GearGreat park experience for mountain biking, golfing, disc golf and walking trails. Good vibes for a Friday night with a small jazz band playing also. Beautiful Minnesota summer night. Highly recommend a chill afternoon at this park.
★★★★★Nichol HadlerA beautiful place for a meal or a beverage. Sit inside the trailhead and do some work, rent a fat tire bike, cross country skis, or enjoy a Sauna with 612 Sauna. Awesome spot for year-round patio views. Let your kids tube in the winter or mountain bike during the summer while you watch them from the outdoor space. Fire pits, a super cute retail area, and awesome food and drinks. The perfect spot to take in the trails and enjoy our huge urban wonderland, Theodore Wirth Park.
