Who's Coming

Mixed crowd of young and middle-aged.

From Hwy 55 (also called Olson Memorial Hwy) go North on Theodore Wirth Pkwy @ .75 miles and park in the Par 3 golf parking lot. Walk back down the Pkwy @ 200 feet to the path (usually a gate across, but walking path is next to the gate). Walk down the path @ .5 mile til path splits - take left path up the hill and wander thru forested and open prairie areas. More active in better weather. Dress warmly in winter. Hidden Lakes Beach is to the West of this area.
Cross street: Plymouth Ave and Theodore Wirth Pkwy
  • Crowd:Mixed crowd of young and middle-aged.
  • Hours:8 am til 10 pm
    Best times: Day or early evening.
    Dates open: Year-round
  • Cruising Info/ Tips:People walk their dogs here - gay and straight. More active in the summer. Also, this is rugged terrain, so be prepared to get a workout.
    Cruisiest Spots: Prairie area has tall grasses and paths through it. Also forested areas are cruisy, but have to walk a long distance to find anyone.
  • Nudity / Policy:Yes / In the summer many guys are nude at Hidden Lakes beach, which can also be accessed from this area or the neighborhoods to the west, just beyond the Edina Realty bldg and near the railroad tracks. Parking to get to these locations would be in ballfield parking lots.
  • Wheelchair Accessible:No
  • Warnings:Park is patrolled by both Minneapolis and Golden Valley police. Be careful of your speed on the parkway -- only 25 mph. Also, afterhours there may be a chain across the driveway of the Par 3 parking lot.

  • The grass in the field has all been cut down. I laid out on a towel in a speedo, but was alone the entire time. I guess there are still cruise options in the woods, but they seem to be pretty intent on stopping us from nude sunbathing or.... I don't know if I'll go back.

  • This place used to be great for laying out nude in the sun. Has anyone been there this year?

  • I went to this area today. Nice to lie out in the tall grass and not worry (too much) about being seen. I went down to the beach, nice quiet place it seems. I kept my suit on most of the time. Nice hairy guy in a (pink) bikini on the beach, should have gotten his name. I'd go back, not sure I'm brave enough to do too much there though.

  • There was a sting at Hidden Lakes beach last weekend. Several people were cited and several were harassed. Apparently metro police are cracking down. Also was one in Burnsville. May be good to cool it for a while.
