Mark your calendars, Carver County Parks parents and children! A slice of outdoor fun is soon arriving at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. As announced by Carver County Parks via a social media post, a grand opening celebration for the park's brand-new playground is set for Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the best part? It's free for all to enjoy.
This is not your run-of-the-mill playground unveiling. We're talking a carnival-style atmosphere complete with games that'll bring out the competitive spirit in kids and adults alike. "Enjoy a fun-filled day with: 🎈 Carnival-style games 🎧 Kidsdance DJ 🧗 Climbing wall 🎨 Face painting & balloon art 🌮 Delicious eats from DelSur Empanadas 🍭 Cotton candy from Cane & Cotton," the Parks department teased on their announcement. The climbing wall is poised to be a hit, giving tiny adventurers a safe taste of mountaineering right in the heart of the community.
As an enticement for the taste buds, local favorites DelSur Empanadas and Cane & Cotton are set to cater to the hungry hordes. Their mention alone suggests menu options that will be as enticing as the playground equipment itself. While kids dash from slide to swing, parents can indulge in savory empanadas or sweeten the day with fluffy cotton candy, ensuring a palate pleaser for everyone involved.
This opening is more than just swings and slides; it's pegged as a family event. Pull the kids away from screens, gather the grandparents, and make it a multi-generational outing. The park's invitation: "Bring the whole family and help us celebrate this exciting new addition to the park!" underscores the community vibe they're fostering. Between the Kidsdance DJ's beats and the squeals of delight at the face painting booth, the decibels will be a testament to the delight this new playground brings to the region.
