- Enjoy the play structure together, or just let the kids run wild while you take advantage of the fee wi-fi to catch up with Family Fun Twin Cities articles. The playground is tucked among trees in the southwest corner of the park (opposite the parking lot). Note there is a much larger playground at the grade school across 31st Street. If you are visiting the park for a ball game, you may see that playground first.
