Peavey Field Park

"Love the landscape and sculptures at the park always look forward to seeing something different every visit or a different meaning from the same scenery"

"I'm a house manager with Metro Hope Ministries which is a long term faith based sober living program for men here in Minneapolis and we were at Peavey Park with a few other ministries and Twin Cities Outreach doing some outreach giving out clothes, toys, grilled burgers and hot dogs, and bibles to whoever needed anything just letting the community know what we are and what we do! It was a nice park with some nice playground equipment next to the pavilion we were using but unfortunately there was drug use around the park by some trees and bus stops which is sad with the kids running around possibly being exposed to such things! We prayed for a lot of people, played music, and shared testimonies of how God has worked in our lives!!"

"The park itself is amazing! There is a covered pavilion with picnic tables, a permanent grill, absolutely the latest and greatest playground equipment, and a nice soccer field with lights (albeit smaller than regulation size)! The only problem was parking. There is one dead end street off of Park Avenue that you can park on, otherwise fend for yourself in the rough neighborhood area. As soon as I saw a spot open up on the road off of Park, I moved my vehicle...see pic of semi-permanent looking homeless "home" on the street I had to park on until I could move when something else opened up.."

"Just redone a few months ago and is really nice. Great space for kids to run(not crammed). The equipment well laid out and a great assortment of things for kids to do such as: Slides, climbing, swings, pool, obstacles, zipline, toddler area, and much more. Very happy with the time and effort that went into this new playground. My kids said it their new favorite playground in this area!"
