Best places: Parks in Coon Rapids, United States

Scenic expanse of the Mississippi River with a dam & observation deck, picnic areas & hiking trails.

👍👍 Very nice area for walking, biking, picnics, and any other outdoor activities. Great view from the dam too!

👍👍 Beautiful during the winter. Make sure to bundle up really well if you plan to cross the bridge the wind very brutal. The frozen river and landscape is very majestic.

There's a huge path that goes around, porta potties, two structures, good sized gazebo area, a decent parking lot, and a hill off to the side that's pro...

👍👍 Great dog park. It’s never super busy. Nice people. I didn’t see any dog poop lying around that hadn’t been picked up. Fenced in and safe.

👍 There's no basketball hoop but there are two baseball fields and a playground for kids with a section for toddlers, and a couple of fields. The creek nearby is pretty but smells like sewage. This park is great and mostly has nice people, but I have had a couple of weird run-ins. There was a homeless...

😐 Good for walks but the table has bugs all over it and is sticky from the tree
