Sunset Pond

This is a beautiful place to walk. The trails are nice and have some privacy and some beside the houses, but it's a good 2 miles around the lake. There were a lot of birds. I think it will be beautiful in spring when the trees have their leaves.

Such a beautiful and tranquil place. Enjoy coming here for the walk around the pond. It’s well maintained and clean. The asphalt path is in great shape. Lots of birds enjoying the water and vegetation.

A beautiful setting for those looking for a longer walk or run on the loop trail around the pond. Good for spotting birds as well... I saw a great blue heron lurking in the middle of the pond against a tree, too far to take a reliable picture of sadly. The small picnic area and playground near the parking area will satisfy those seeking other activities than the trails. All-in-all another well-maintained and attractive Burnsville park.

An excellent little pond nestled in the back of the suburbs. Has a path all the way around the pond that is very relaxing and a playground to boot for the kiddos to play at while you enjoy the landscape. Also of note is there is a lot of benches/gazebos scattered around the lake where you can enjoy a nice lunch or the wildlife. (Teeming with all sorts of species of birds)

Best place to come for a peaceful walk... Go skateboarding, rollerblading, longboarding, ride any type of bicycle around the pond.. Have some Fun and go around more than a few times..enjoy the different type of ducks and birds. Also a Hidden spot for Bass and baby pikes for fishing... hidden gem in Burnsville.

Cute place, well shaded. Smooth paths, not too busy.

Great pond for walking, biking and rollerblading. You will see a wide variety of birds. There are a lot of beautiful butterflies and a lot of milkweed where you can see monarch caterpillars.

First time here and I'm very happy with it. They have a park and walking grounds. The paths have arrows on them for good social distancing! And a lot of good hammocking trees with mowed grass! 10/10 would recommend

Nice park for a walk with lots scenic views. Paved path allows for skating, biking, and walking. Lots of benches for rest and enjoying the views. Small pavilions are dotted around the pond with a picnic table inside. My fav has been the one next to the pond.

Great place to catch the sunset. It has plenty of parking, a nice playground, a small gazebo, and trails circling the pond.

Note: I release all photos to the public domain.

Lovely spot for a nature walk. Plenty of wildlife, too, especially birds. Nice, friendly people that usually say "good morning," when I say hello to the other walkers on the trail. Hard to believe it's in the heart of a metro area! At least when you cant see the one big building nearby distantly visible. Walk here a few times every week.

Great playground! Areas for all ages. They have a handicap swing but no handicap access to it. A few swings and baby swing. The big slides are a bit fast so watch your tiniest ones. Take your kids for a walk before playing on the playground or they may be too tired to walk or sit I the stroller. It's a wonderful walk with a great view at the other end of the lake.

Wonderful Peaceful two-mile walk around this pond. Would do it again.

It a beautiful place to visit...relax and do some walking!

I'm from out of town, took my granddaughter to volleyball camp and walked around this adorable pond several times. Nice asphalt trail, about 1.75 miles all the way around. Don't miss the forest loop about halfway.

Great walk around the pond, about 1.5 miles. Not a lot of shade so it can be a little hot during summer. Cute gazebos all along the path if you want to picnic.

It is a beautiful place to spend time with the family, especially walking and enjoying nature.

Paved walking path the entire way around the pond. There are houses along the path most of the way — so for those wanting to escape into nature, this likely isn’t the path for you. However with houses so close I felt very safe walking the path alone as it was getting semi-dark outside. There is a parking lot, map of the path at the entrance, and a playground. I even noticed a few folks with fishing poles along a bridge near the entrance.

Beautiful walk around a lake with lots of ducks and geese. There is a children's park near the parking lot which is nice. There is a smaller play slide for young kids and one for kids 5 and up. There were also swings. There were picnic tables and benches throughout as well.

Great place for walking your dogs or getting some exercise. You'll see a variety of wildlife here as well. I've seen lots of deer, a fox, countless birds, turtles, muskrats and a lots more.
