Wabun Picnic Area - Picnic ground in Minneapolis - 4655 46th Ave S, USA

Amazing venue, signs could use an update 70 people at a celebration of life for my brother. The second most talked about item. Finding the location. You have two paths to get in both are practical not marked or if they are around. They give little to no directions on where to go or how to get to the pavilions. You basically have to know someone on the inside. That’s messed up for how great that park and areas around are!

It’s a hidden gem up above the busy falls. There’s ample parking - amazingly spots even on the busiest summer days. The trees are beautiful, the wading pool is large and cool, and the play park is entertaining for all ages. Our one criticism is that vehicle traffic - including buses and electric bikes - take precedent in the area over walking paths and regular bikes.

One of the best parks I’ve found so far. It has a little play area for toddlers which includes an RV and a much larger playground for bigger kids (or ambitious littles). There’s also a big sand area, small mulch area, and everything is accessible. As others have noted, there are a few musical instruments including plastic bongo drums and some bells. They were my 15 month old son’s favorite part.

Pretty cool place. It has a playground and wade pool that I enjoyed a lot when I was younger. Near to a Mississippi bridge as well, so nice views.

So friendly, parking was restricted, but that's a problem anywhere! The views were so family friendly, there are a few hikes! Up about 90 stairs at bottom point of the falls! But this was just a comfortable place to be!!

Lots of tables for different large groups. Less busy in early mornings. Lots of kids but usually attentive parents. Bathrooms are convenient. Parking is hit or miss depending on how busy. Go early.

We always have such a great time at this park. Between the wading pool and playground to the quick hike to the falls, there is enough to enjoy all day long! Picnic area has always been clean, restrooms too, and the area is so much fun to explore. Pack a lunch and some water shoes!

We booked this to celebrate a group of 2021 high school graduates and their families. It was a great space and allowed us to serve food potluck style. The facility was cleaned and a sign was put up. We had no issues.
