2013 Spring/Summer Activities Directory
As the saying goes, a little dirt never
hurt anyone. Neither do grass stains,
sandy hair or a farmer’s tan. So abandon
that air conditioner, box up the video
games and get the children outdoors
this summer!
Since the 1960s, the Edina Parks &
Recreation Department has hosted a
variety of six-week Playground Programs,
which offer supervised and structured
outdoor activities that focus on fun,
physical fitness and socialization. A
variety of themed activities, which include
a weekly visit from a craft specialist, are
provided with the goal of keeping children
physically active and creative.
“One of the most important things that
these programs offer is the chance for
kids to be around nature,” said Recreation
Supervisor Donna Tilsner. “The experience
teaches teamwork, rules and sharing, and
the playground leaders really have an
opportunity to lead by example to impart
quality values on the kids.” The programs
also include an educational piece or fun
science project.
The program has evolved through
the years according to popularity and
trends in learning, but the City Council
has always been supportive of the
Playground Program as a core service
provided by the City. In 2012, more than
700 children participated in the program.
In addition, 40 high school- or college-
age Playground Leaders, ages 16 years
and older, were also involved to ensure
that participants of all ages and abilities
had a good experience.
“My 10-year-old son who didn’t want to
sign up for the program — he’d never
done it before — had an absolute blast,”
said a parent whose child played one
year at Lewis Park. “He was excited to
go every time. His favorite was ‘world
cup soccer.’ It was also nice to see him
have the opportunity to interact with the
younger kids at the program.”
Children ages 6 to 10 who have
completed kindergarten can register for
“Playgrounds.” The Playground Program
takes place at six of Edina’s parks and
includes Monday and Wednesday sessions
and Tuesday and Thursday sessions.
“Fab 4 & 5” and “Super 6 & 7” are nearly
identical to the Playground Program, but
focus on games and activities that are
more appropriate for 4 and 5 year olds or
6 and 7 year olds. The staff concentrates
on helping children stay engaged and
foster new friendships.
For the children who are too young to
be Playground Leaders but too old to
participate, a newer program called
“Leaders in Training” is offered for ages 13
through 15 to teach leadership skills and
provide a mentorship service for learning
productive ways to communicate with
children and parents in the programs.
The newest addition to the Playground
Programs is an “Edible Playground” at
Lewis Park. “The goal is to introduce
children, ages 7 through 11, to gardening,”
Recreation Supervisor Kristin Aarsvold
said. “It will also help by making the
connection to the food we eat fueling
young bodies for recreation.” Pizza and
salsa plots will be planted as a way to
illustrate the connection between the
garden and the table, and a “harvest
dinner” will be held for participants,
families and volunteers in late August.

Recreation Department at 952-826-
0367. To view a list of summer Playground
Programs, see Pages 5-10.

Centennial Lakes Park
features more than
24 acres of recreation
space. During the
summer months, visitors can rent paddleboats, fish in
the ponds, watch remote control sailboat races, explore a
maze, or try their luck on the bent grass putting course
or croquet and lawn bowling courts. The park also hosts
a variety of cultural performances in a 1,000-seat lakeside
amphitheater.
At the Hughes Pavilion, visitors can rent banquet space for
weddings, business meetings and social events. The Pavilion
also serves as the center point of the Centennial Lakes
Farmers Market, where you can find the freshest locally
grown and produced products from late spring through fall.
In the winter months, the park offers one of the Twin
Cities’ finest outdoor skating venues. Visitors can skate
across 10 acres of carefully maintained ice or take a spin
on a Norwegian ice sled. Afterwards, guests can relax
by one of the Pavilion’s three fireplaces while sipping a
cup of hot chocolate from the concessions stand. For the
convenience of park visitors, Centennial Lakes rents figure
and hockey skates for children and adults.

of age and older.
