Twin Cities Business Listing

Lakeview Knolls Park is a 20 acre neighborhood park in Woodbury. The majority of the park is a paved trail, that traverses slightly more than half a mile from Valley Creek Road to Wynstone Drive. There are two expanded park areas with playgrounds, referred to as Lake Knolls North and Lake Knolls South.

6 Ideas for Family Fun at Lakeview Knolls Park

1. Download the Biba App for some fun ideas for playing on the north playground.
2. Bring a basketball. Play a game of one on one on the full basketball court.
3. Play tennis. Bring your rackets and ball for a game or some practice.
4. Bring a playground ball for a game of four square.
5. Take a walk. If you walk from one end of the park and back, you’ll have walked almost a mile and half. The paved trails are stroller friendly or you can bring bikes, scooters or skates for some practice on smooth surfaces.
6. Pack a picnic. Stop for a snack at one of the picnic tables.

The Playgrounds at Lakeview Knolls

Lakeview Knolls North Playground

In 2017, Woodbury installed new equipment at the north playground. The new equipment utilizes new technology to encourage kids to get the most of their playground experience. This is one of several parks in the Twin Cities that has installed a Biba Smart Playground. This allows visitors to download an app for added interactive activities. The app, which has games for kids and play date reminders for parents, also interacts with participating parks to encourage play for a digital generation. Not an app family? Then ignore it and play on the playground equipment the old-fashioned way.

The north playground is close to the tennis and basketball courts and has a pained foursquare court.

Lakeview Knolls South Playground

The south playground was replaced in 2019. The new playground is particularly geared toward ages 5-8.

Kids Around the World

Woodbury donates its old equipment to Kids Around the World, an organization that establishes playgrounds in poverty-stricken countries. It’s kind of nice to know the equipment will do good elsewhere.

Not To Be Confused…

This is actually one of two Lakeview Knolls Parks in the Twin Cities. Clear across town, Maple Grove has a park by the same name. As they are a good 45 minutes apart, you do not want to confuse the two.
