Things to Do in Lakeville This Spring
🚴 Lakeville’s Greenway Trail System
April is perfect for getting out on Lakeville’s extensive paved trail network. The city maintains miles of connected trails linking parks, lakes, and neighborhoods — great for cycling, walking, and jogging. Casperson Park on Lake Marion is a local favorite for a lakeside stroll. Visit lakevillemn.gov/787/Parks-Trails for maps and trail details.
🎶 Lakeville Area Arts Center
Even after the April 26th Coffee Concert, the Lakeville Area Arts Center remains a cultural hub year-round, with gallery exhibitions, fine arts and theater classes, and a full summer lineup on the way. The performing arts building at 20965 Holyoke Ave is well worth a visit. Learn more at lakevilleareaartscenter.com.
🏊 Lake Marion
As the ice clears and temperatures rise, Lake Marion becomes Lakeville’s outdoor living room. Bring a fishing rod to the public pier, walk the shoreline path, or grab a table at LBC on the Lake for waterside dining. April is a beautiful transitional month to experience the lake before summer crowds arrive.
🏃 Ritter Farm Park
Ritter Farm Park is one of Lakeville’s most beloved nature areas, featuring wooded trails, open meadows, and wildlife viewing opportunities. With spring wildflowers starting to emerge in April, it’s a great place for a family hike or a quiet solo walk. Located on the south side of Lakeville — see lakevillemn.gov for directions.
