Bryant Lake Regional Park

This seems like a great little park. I came here for a break while on the road for work because it was a beautiful day. I’m sure this park is well used on the weekends but it was quiet on the weekday afternoon I visited. They have a beach, disc golf course, paved walking trails, concessions stand, and a beautiful wood playground. I did not visit the dog park. Also, free entrance! If you live in the area and haven’t been, it is worth a visit!

This is one of our absolute favorite parks/​beaches nearby. Fun playground, great beach with a volleyball court too and nice amenities with boat rentals and concessions. Note the beach is not lifeguarded but the swim area is quite shallow. We’ve enjoyed many summer days at Bryant Lake!

This is just for the dog park. Clean and nice but not worth the $ 5 by a long shot. Way to small to be charging that much or anything.

Great small dog park. Lots of weeds, tall grasses and a small wooded patch for hunters to sniff in. Clean — I only saw one «leave behind». Fresh water avail — I’d bring my own bowl for sanitary reasons.

Dog park is ok, the owners are a different story. Dog owners all seem to know each other and must not have jobs. The same people are always there. A woman with a pack of huskies practically lives there, and acts like her dogs own the place. The pond is not taken care of and is filled with algae.
Someone with a non trained puppy called the cops because she thought her dog was being attacked by another dog. We witnessed the whole thing and it was a total drama fest.

We adore this park. It never seems overcrowded and there are so many things to do. The boat rentals were a hit for me and the kids. Fishing off the pier is hit or miss– with more experiences for us in the miss category, but it’s nice to have so close. The best parts of the park are definitely the beach and the playground.

Great park, frisbee golf course is challenging, beach is a lot of fun. Snacks are reasonably priced, kayak rentals and paddle board rentals are very well priced. Beach is clean, no lifeguard.
Been coming here for years.

One of our favorite parks. Very child friendly beach. Mostly up to the waist or less of my 6 and 4 year old. They have boat rental and board rental. They have a snack window, soda and candy stuff. Pretty reasonable. Plenty of grills all around park and very nice children’s playground. Boat ramp cost 5 per use. Very good and challenging disc golf. One of our favorite places to spend afternoon. Also many good trails through the woods for walking.

This is a great park to take your family. It’s free and it has a little something for everyone. There’s a substantial play area for kids with climbing nets, several slides and little tunnels to explore, it was great for the 4 year old with us, my 19 month old and 16 month cousin. All of the adults were able to be with a little one while we chatted and caught up.
There is a nice looking beach, we weren’t able to partake since it was quite cloudy and only in the 60’s. We mostly hung out in the boat launch which is also the picnic area (with grills). There is a a convenient dumpster nearby to clean up any trash you have from your picnic. This is nearby a fishing dock as well.
The park is part of the Three Rivers Park District, it’s easy to find, beautiful area and well maintained.

I drive from SW Minneapolis to Eden Prairie most days in order to bring my high-​energy Brittany to the outstanding dog park at the back end of Bryant Lake Park. It is very well kept up, dogs and their owners are friendly, there are grassy wooded areas for the explorers (read: my dog), a separate small dog area, and a sectioned-​off pond area. Virtually no one uses the pond area as it is always full of algae. This spacious park is best in early morning hours when there is enough elbow room for everyone. By mid-​morning, it is a zoo and parking can sometimes be a little tight. The park is part of the Three Rivers System, which means your $ 35 annual pass also earns you access to other far-​flung suburban parks which are much more spacious than those in the city, yet still (usually) fully-​fenced for safety.

4.5 stars. Minus a half star because the water in the swimming area isn’t that deep, and when it gets deep enough it’s weedy. So I’m being really picky right?
But this park is beautiful, and never gets overly crowded like Shady Oak beach does. AND it’s FREE. The beach area is clean. You can play volleyball on land or in the water, and you cant rent various «boating» things like paddle boats and those stand-​up paddle boards. Of course, they have a concession stand nearby the beach, or you can bring your own food to grill at one of the park’s grills. There are ample picnic tables if you’d like to celebrate a birthday or other occasion there.
There are also a few miles of trails that you can walk or bike. At one end you will find a dog park, and at the other is Wooddale Church. The park also has a frisbee golf course, which I haven’t personally tried, but I’ve seen many people play here so it must be fun.

We rented the facility for a fairy tale wedding reception and were not disappointed. The spacious Pavillion was beautiful when decorated and the location was perfect. The beautiful park location provided a gorgeous backdrop for photos. There was ample parking and the wood burning fireplace added the romantic ambience. If you are looking for a reasonably priced location for your happily ever after, Bryant Lake Regional Park is a top choice.

There is a dogpark here too! Just a bit further down from the main entrance. Big and small dog zones and a pond that the big dogs can jump in! Get the season pass for sure.
And theres the lake, paths, disc golf! and a beach. Could it get any better?

Incredibly well-​maintained and beautiful disc golf course. Gorgeous views of the lake, mowed fairways — overall a very scenic and challenging course. Really wide variety of shots, and the 17^th hole (throwing a disc OFF A CLIFF) is freaking awesome.
The course wasn’t too horribly trafficked when we were there on Sunday afternoon; some wait time, but nothing unreasonable, especially considering the quality of the course. It is pay-​to-​play ($ 3 per game or $ 30 for a year pass that includes unlimited play for the other courses in the Parks District). However, for a course this great, it’s worth it.
