Located in the northeast corner of the city, Lauderdale Community Park includes a variety of both active amenities for visitors to enjoy. With two tennis courts, two basketball courts, a dog park, playground, a ball field, an archery range with target bales, a picnic shelter, and during the winter months a lighted hockey and pleasure rink, and a sledding hill, there is no shortage of activity to be had at Lauderdale Community Park. Year round activities ensure that visitors attend all throughout the year, making the park a central community location

Skyview Park: Skyview Park is named for its nice view of the Minneapolis skyline. A quieter park, Skyview Park is ideal for those seeking a quiet atmosphere. The park includes a playground and a picnic table. While offering few amenities, on a sunny day Skyview Park’s scenic view is hard to beat.
