Disc Golf Course
Established in 1994, the Lions Park disc golf course is open during daylight hours. The course features open grassy area, mid-sized tree, water holes and newly added obstacles. The course recently underwent renovation making it even more fun for all level of players. There is no cost to play the course.
Fun For All Playground
Shakopee's Fun For All Playground is an inclusive playground, intended to provide accessible age and developmental appropriate activities that stimulate children physically, emotionally and socially.
Rather than one large play structure, inclusive playgrounds use smaller, individual components designed to fit different needs and provide unique sensory experiences. This includes the use of land forms to provide contour and challenges to the park, tunnels, group activities and animal structures to touch and find. The playground's surface is poured-in-place rubber, ensuring kids have a safe and durable surface to play on.
Log Cabin
Located in Lions Park, the Log Cabin is comfortable and quiet, suitable for all types of get-togethers. It is equipped with a kitchenette area, tables, chairs and restrooms. This is a tobacco free building. The log cabin is available for group and private rentals daily, from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. To learn more about renting this space, check out our dedicated Log Cabin page.
SandVenture Aquatic Park
SandVenture Aquatic Park has been Shakopee's favorite summer destination for more than 50 years. The outdoor aquatic park features a unique, sand-bottom experience. The pool is chlorinated and recently underwent major improvements. Some of the great features of Sand Venture are the 300-foot water slide, drop slides, tot slides, new boardwalk and jumping platforms, basketball hoops in the center of the pool, play features in the shallow depth areas and so much more!
SandVenture is open June through August. Learn more about the aquatic park, including admissions and hours on the SandVenture page.
Splash Pad
The splash pad at Lions Park provides free, summer recreation fun for people of all ages and abilities. The splash pad is located near the Fun For All Playground and typically open Memorial Day through Labor Day.
