Ideas for family fun at Gleason Fields
- Let the kids run at the playground. The playground at this park is large with equipment for tots and for bigger kids. It is located near the main parking lot, so its easy to get in and out if that is all you want to do.
- Pack a picnic. There are picnic tables in a small shaded pavilion conveniently placed so parents can see the playground. There are also uncovered tables and plenty of space to spread a blanket on the ground.
- Practice your favorite sports. Bring your gear for a family practice session. With a lacrosse field, soccer fields, two baseball/softball fields, a basketball court and two tennis/pickleball courts, there is room to practice almost any sport.
- Play lawn games. Use the ample green space to play some outdoor games that require more space.
- Bike. The bike/pedestrian trails in this park connect bikers to the neighborhood.
- Go Roller Skating. Maple Grove’s park system has nice smooth paths that are perfect for skating, walking with strollers or bringing small kids to practice on scooters or bikes.
