First of all… if there are other parks like this in Minnesota, I would love to know. This park looks like the idea of playing in nature is “with” nature. I have not been to CoreValley in Eagan yet, but it is on our list of parks to try soon. The website says it is for all ages, but again no personal experience to say for sure what there is for the younger crowd. I have been told there is a “regular” playground right near it. A back up plan if this type of place is not quite what your kids were looking for in a “park”.
What is Core Valley? It’s a new custom-designed fitness area that encourages outdoor natural play for all ages. A series of large logs, placed at angles and at varied heights, are designed to encourage one-of-a-kind workouts on a unique course. Whether you are seeking general fitness, athletic development or training for an obstacle course run, the Core Valley equipment will help you work toward your fitness goals and keep your workout fun. Come and climb over, crawl under or swing on the equipment – the sky is the limit for what you can do at Core Valley. Core Valley is located in Eagan’s Central Park near the Eagan Community Center.

It’s pretty fun to climb on everything with the kids. My 1 1/2 & 3 1/2 girls booth loved it last summer.

There is a regular playground right next to the log area. My 9 year old loves this park. I already liked it before the log area for the outdoor exercise equipment. There is also a walking path and in summer the farmers market is there too.
