Bassett’s Creek Park in Minneapolis traverses two neighborhoods – Bryn Mawr and Harrison. It abuts Theodore Wirth Park on Glenwood Avenue. Family-friendly amenities include two playgrounds, ball fields and connection to regional bike trails. The park is separated by an industrial area, where you will find Utepils Brewing and other local companies. Trails connect the three areas of the park and if you walk the loop, you’ll log about a mile and a half. Note: If you are using GPS, you’ll want to differential between “Bassett’s Creek Park” and “Bassett Creek Park”, which is just over 5 miles northwest of this park, in Crystal. In December of 2019 the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board (MPRB) approved the concept plan for improvements to the Harrison neighborhood section of Bassett’s Creek Park. Construction begins in the summer of 2020. Approved updates include:8 Things for Families at Bassett’s Creek Park
