Edinborough Park -- Activated Indoor Open Space

Adventure Peak


Edinborough Park, Edina MN












Today in Minneapolis-St. Paul, the temperature was -1 Fahrenheit.  A perfect day to take the kids to the park if you live in the City of Edina, Minnesota!  Here you will find Edinborough Park, a one-acre park with children's three-story "Adventure Peak" play structure, multipurpose courts/great hall, amphitheater, community green, swimming pool, and track -- all totally enclosed in a climate-controlled atrium.

This atrium park sits between three high-rise towers providing plenty of structural enclosure and  activated third spaces.  My family, together with my sister-in-law's family, spent the weekend at the  Residence Inn which gives the visitor a lobby view of Adventure Peak.  My two nieces had a great time here!  Also supporting the park is Edina Park Plaza, an independent and assisted living facility.  They bill this as the only place in Minnesota where you can live in 70 degree weather year around.  Rounding out the park edge is the 3300 Corporate Center, a 100,000 s.f. building housing doctors, lawyers, dentists, as well as "Especially for Children" providing care and education for young children.

Edinborough Park is a perfect solution for a park that is stimulating year-around community as well as economic development in a cold climate.  Congratulations Edina!  For more information visit Edinborough Park.
