Overview
The Park was the project of the Minnow Lake Restoration Group winner of the 2006 Community Builders Award for the Environment. In addition to the boardwalk, 3 Nature trails are co-located leading to a Scenic Hilltop Gazebo, and Bancroft Drive has sports fields and good bike lanes. The lake is the focal point for the neighborhood or community that extends from almost downtown Sudbury, along Howey Drive, Bellevue and Bancroft to Moonlight Avenue, and from the Kingsway south to Lake Ramsey. Minnow Lake has the largest public shoreline (relative to size) of any lake in the area. The lake has four park areas on its shores and another adjacent to the lake. In addition there is an Arena, two ball fields and tennis courts. There are two community centers also located on the lake itself.
