Winter: Skating rink is the best in the metro. Wish there were more options like this. Zamboni housed in the building right off the ice. Lots of amenities in the warming house. Wish I lived closer. Fat bunnies on the premises(photo).

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families who want a go-to park across all seasons. Summer visits center on the splash pad and climbing playground for ages 2–10. Winter visits revolve around the skating rink, which is maintained to a high standard with warming house access.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring swimwear and a towel for the splash pad during summer visits
⏰The skating rink is Zamboni-maintained with an on-site warming house — bring skates or check rental availability
đŸŽŸī¸Arrive early for skating in winter — it draws crowds from across the Twin Cities metro

Overview

Central Park of Maple Grove delivers year-round family activity across two distinct seasonal draws. In summer, a splash pad and a climbing-heavy playground keep kids moving — reviewers specifically note the large amount of climbing options and running space. In winter, an indoor-Zamboni-maintained skating rink steps in as the headline attraction, with a warming house stocked with amenities. The rink consistently earns top marks among metro options.
