Parks and places nearby
Carver Lake Park has an unguarded swimming beach and an open-air shelter you can reserve. A 5.5-mile off-road cycling trail starts at the west end of the lower lot, and volunteers from the Minnesota Off-Road Cyclists have maintained it since it opened in 2011. Winter riders and snowshoers can use it when the trail is not wet.
The park also has a bike park playground with a pump track and an advanced skills loop. The city closes the beach when blue-green algae is found, so check its page before you swim.

Century Avenue South is the park's address street. The METRO Gold Line opened in 2025 and runs along Bielenberg Drive and Guider Drive in Woodbury, with stations north of Tamarack Road, near the Woodbury Theater, and at Guider Drive and Woodlane Drive.
