The Park boasts 24 acres of land for various outdoor activities. One of Centennial Lakes Park’s most notable activities is paddling boating.

For $20, standard paddle boats are available to rent for 45 minutes, and for $30, the swan boats can be rented.
If anyone prefers to stay on the ground rather than afloat, they can watch the Edina Model Yacht Club take their radio-controlled model boats to the water. Frequently sitting on the ledge of the waterway, the club practices on the water often drawing the attention of passersby.
