Coon Rapids Ice Arena Playground

The splash pad here is genuinely one of the better ones in the area — kids can run through it for hours and nobody’s complaining. Equipment is newer and actually well-kept, which isn’t something you can say about every park in Coon Rapids. There’s a separate toddler section, so you’re not constantly chasing your two-year-old away from stuff built for big kids. Everything feels clean and looked-after, like someone actually checks on it regularly. Good spot for the 2-10 crowd, especially on a hot summer afternoon.
