The Schaper Park Challenge Course is an obstacle course playground in Golden Valley, Minnesota. This community is just west of Minneapolis, making it a great place to visit for those around the metro area.

The course is full of fun obstacles. It was designed for kids ages 13 and up, but many younger children enjoy climbing over the obstacles, too. Kids can race against the clock, or they can casually climb and crawl through the course.

There are plenty of fun spaces in the park. The ninja steps, pictured below, are designed to test speed and agility.

The sway steps require participants to balance as they stretch their legs from one step to the next.

The floating boards, a series of hanging objects that participants can crawl through, tests balance.

The cable corridor is made up of two walls connected by cables at varying heights. Participants must climb over and crawl under each cable to reach the end!

This park is full of so many ways to test speed, balance, agility, and flexibility! Kids who enjoy testing their skills will love their visit to this unique playground!
