1 / 2Wabun Playground
đ Hiawatha, MN
Wabun Playground on Minnehaha Ave is one of Minneapolis's larger and less-discovered playgrounds, featuring expansive equipment and a seasonal wading pool. Free parking on site and walkable proximity to Minnehaha Falls extend the outing.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families seeking a spacious, uncrowded play experience in south Minneapolis. The wading pool is a summer draw for toddlers and young children, and the proximity to Minnehaha Falls makes it easy to extend the visit into a half-day nature outing. Free parking removes a common city-park friction point.

âA relatively hidden gem. I haven't been hear when the water park is open but it is pretty empty for a huge playground. It's within walking distance to the falls and next to the Vet Home. Parking is free tooâ
