Bassett's Creek Park Playground
📍 Harrison, MN
Compact neighborhood playground set within Bassett's Creek Park in Minneapolis. Play structures are sized for younger kids. No permanent restrooms on site — portable facilities have been removed in recent seasons.
Nature at its best in a big city, a place to get away and peacefully enjoy the present. Small children will love it here, just their size playtime spaces.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for toddlers and preschoolers who need right-sized equipment and a calm outdoor setting. Older kids may find the structures too small. Restroom availability is unreliable, so pack supplies and time visits around that reality.

“This is our neighborhood park, and normally I would give more stars because we have loved it for a few years now. But, this spring/summer and I’m assuming autumn, there has been no portapotty! So disappointing”

Overview
Bassett's Creek Park gives young kids a green escape inside Minneapolis. Reviewers note the play spaces are sized right for small children, with a natural setting that feels removed from the city. The park has been a neighborhood staple for years, earning loyalty from local families. Restroom access has been a recurring issue — portable toilets were removed in 2024 and have not been reliably replaced, so plan accordingly.
