Coon Rapids Parks & Recreation

Since 1959, when the city incorporated, forward-thinking Coon Rapids city officials set aside natural and open areas as public space for the outdoor enjoyment of residents. Outdoor recreation fulfills a basic need for us and our children to refresh our bodies and minds through active play, feeling closer to nature, and athletic competition or exercise.

Coon Rapids takes great pride in its park system. With over 40 neighborhood parks and 20+ miles of trails, our system offers a variety of choices with numerous available activities including athletic fields, ice rinks and sliding hills, skate parks, numerous play areas, and much more.
