Bde Maka Ska 32nd Street Beach

Great place. The only thing negative are fleas in the ground, from dogs. Sad. Use Raid or any insecticide. I got lots of fun but weal.

Gorgeous sunset views at this beach. Water is (usually) clean although check for e-coli levels if you want to go for a swim. Not too crowded. The ducks are adorable

I have been here a few times, and every time, I leave full of excitement and satisfaction. It is never too busy! The first time I went to the beach and we brought a big otter floaty! We played catch in the water and although I was bad at it, I enjoyed the view of the lake and the water felt very nice and cleaner than most lakes. The next time I came here, I played sand volleyball. Some people were very kind to us and let us use their volleyball and they played with us! It was very wholesome. After we played volleyball for a bit, me and Carry saw some people playing spikeball and boy do we love a good run. We asked them if we could play the winner and they said yes. Me and Carry struggled a little at first because we were not warmed up, but after a few points we started cooking. We won by a couple points. The most recent time I came here was also for spikeball and with Carry! It was his birthday and we did a spikeball tournament with some fellas at the gym. We ordered pizza and donuts. It was double elimination and my partner, Jimmy, and I got second place. We lost to Thomas and Le. We were against them in the very first round and lost, so we went to the losers bracket. However, we were cooking it up in there and won the losers bracket and played Thomas and Le again in the championship round! It was wild, but we ended up losing again :( However, I still had a great time and made some wild plays. The parking here is also pretty nice. While you have to pay to park at the beach, there is a ton of street parking and it has never been to busy. People be zooming on the roads though, so make sure there are no cars while you try to parallel park because man parallel parking is HARD! Another thing that would make it even nicer would be more bathrooms. There is one right by the beach in the parking lot, but when I play volleyball, it sure is a hefty walk over there. However, neither parking nor the bathroom situation are impeding enough to make me remove a star.

Kids playground equipment on beach, and if you love the skank smell of weed, you'll love it here. The smell is pervasive on any given day.

Beautiful day to chill at the lake. Everyone was friendly and the pup was welcome as well!

I've never swam there, but it's an excellent spot to watch the sunset in the Twin Cities!

Smells really fishy and water looks lowkey gross, ducks are cute, overall cool to visit but not swim

Love this beach! In between the Main Beach and Thomas Beach off 32nd Street is this nice beach. ⛱️ Bike rack, Port o Pottys, playground for the kids, close to the pavilion. 👍
