Lincoln Park is a beautifully wooded area that follows the Miller Creek downhill from Piedmont to the Lincoln Park neighborhood. It is surrounded by housing on several sides with paths and sidewalks going off in many directions.
The playground is not fenced and it is right next to the road that goes through the park. The road is solely for the park, so it is not busy, but it is a road nonetheless. Across the road is a bridge over the Miller Creek to a field and closed off structure. The creek is not very blocked off, so younger children will need close supervision. We did not find any porta-potties or restrooms.
The park has a disc golf course, a pavilion, and plenty of paved and unpaved walking paths.
The playground is a sand surface with two separate areas, one for older children and one for younger. When we visited, there were several abandoned sweatshirts and food wrappers throughout the playground area.
EDIT: I just read an article that Lincoln Park will be going through a major renovation to improve safety and access to natural elements! http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/4061878-plans-improve-lincoln-park-get-boost-vikings-us-bank
The larger structure is one of the most varied we have come across. It has:
- 2 slides and 1 double slide
- Track glider
- Monkey bars of several varieties
- Ladders and steps
- Wobbly balance beam
- Fireman pole
- 4 swings
- 2 baby swings
The other section is intended for toddlers. It is a cute little house with a picnic table inside and also includes a steering wheel, tunnel, and two bouncy animals to ride on.
