Burnsville's downtown plaza splash area is built like a natural streambed, with a shallow creek, rocks, fountains and small waterfalls winding through amphitheater-style green space in the Heart of the City district. Summer concerts and movies happen right beside the water, so swimsuits are worth packing for events.
