Gold Medal Park is a peaceful and green place in the heart of the city, with lots of air and trees. It is a popular spot where plenty of people relax under the trees, chat, and enjoy picnics. The spiral-shaped park features a circular pathway leading to the top of Gold Medal Hill, offering beautiful views of the Stone Arch Bridge through the greenery. It overlooks the Guthrie Theatre and the historic Mill District, including the Mill Ruins Park, St. Anthony Falls, and the Mississippi River. A pedestrian bridge connects to nearby districts. The park is dog-friendly, with lots of dogs, and its iconic Gold Medal Flour sign is a historical landmark and popular photo spot, reflecting the area's milling history. It is a place with paved paths and is near the I-35W Bridge Remembrance Garden. This award-winning park is considered a beautiful and fun center of the city.
Stunning!!! Loved this park so much; clean, calm, plenty of street parking (paid).

Parking was available beside between the park and the Guthrie Theater. We did a walking tour starting there thru the Mill City Ruins Park. We walked across the stone arch bridge, saw the Gold Medal and Pillsbury signs, and lots more. Great place to walk or bike. Beautiful scenery along the Mississippi River.

Very well maintained park, perfect place for the pup to meet other dogs and take in the city views.
