William Berry Park is located between Lake Harriet and Lake Calhoun in the Linden Hills neighborhood. Known for its wooded, hilly landscape, the park’s natural beauty has been preserved since it was acquired in 1889. Originally named Interlachen Park – meaning between the lakes – the park was renamed in honor of the park system’s first Superintendent, William Morse Berry in 1916.

The custom playground features nature-themed equipment, designed for children ages 2–5, and school-aged kids, ages 5–12. Equipment includes slides, climbers and swings, and a water play feature.
