Theodore Wirth Regional Park is Minneapolis' largest public park, spanning 759 acres throughout the city and its neighboring Golden Valley suburb. It was originally established on 66 acres in 1889 and is named in honor of former Minneapolis parks superintendent Theodore Wirth, who served the community between 1906 and 1936. Major park amenities include two public golf courses, a disc golf course, an archery range, soccer fields and tennis courts, and a fishing pier over Wirth Lake. During the winter months, visitors can enjoy sledding, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, with a chalet-style clubhouse hosted on site. The park is open to the public during daylight hours year-round, with extended late-night hours in developed areas.
