Alden Park in Edina is a 5-acre neighborhood park with family-friendly amenities that include a playground, space for picnics, a bike trail and walking paths and green space. It also has a basketball court. It is across First Street from the Harley Hopkins Family Center, which offers ECFE programs and open gym times.
9 Fun things for families at Alden Park
- Play “Fort” – This is one of those playgrounds that feels like a fort or castle, or even a pirate ship. It just begs for some imagination play.
- Monkey bar races – Bring along a stop watch to see who can cross the monkey bars the fastest (or the furthest for smaller kids).
- Play in the sand – The playground has a sand floor perfect for digging in together.
- Take a walk together. The trail that runs through the park is paved, so bring along a stroller, wagon or scooter. It is one meandering line through the park, so you may want to explore the neighborhood as part of your walk.
- Play tag – The green space at this park is just a little bit hilly and is edged by trees, making it a good area for a game of tag. (Note though, that it is also close to residential homes, so you’ll want to be considerate of the neighbors.)
- Enjoy a game of One on One on the basketball court. Bring your own ball.
- Kick around your soccer ball or toss a football in the multi-sport field.
- Bring a picnic and a blanket to spread out.
- Read a book – The city recommends this park for reading under a tree on its webpage.
