Welcome to Chanhassen!

With a population of 22,952, Chanhassen offers the best of rural and suburban life — it’s a great place to live, work and play! Most of the city’s 14,427 acres are in Carver County, with 154 in Hennepin County. Five major highways traverse the community — including the new Highway 212 freeway — allowing residents and commuters to reach other metropolitan communities in minutes. Businesses include a variety of commercial and industrial companies. Office and warehouse buildings are located throughout the city. Since 1995, the city has added 2.5 million square feet of commercial/industrial space. The approximately 500 businesses employ more than 9,500 people. Two public school districts, Minnetonka and District 112, as well as private schools, serve the families in the community. Residents and students also welcomed the 2009 opening of Chanhassen High School, the second high school for District 112. There is much to do and enjoy in Chanhassen. The downtown area offers shopping, dining and entertainment — including the renowned Chanhassen Dinner Theatres — as well as a library and many service and retail businesses. For outdoor enthusiasts, Chanhassen has 11 lakes that offer recreation and relaxation to residents and visitors to the community. The city’s 500-acre park system features community and neighborhood parks, as well as 70 miles of trails and sidewalks for people of all ages. The park system also features five nature preserves. Additionally, the Chanhassen Senior Center is a social gathering spot for those over age 55.

All policy decisions and legislative activities are the responsibility of the council, but the administrative duties are delegated to the city manager, who is appointed by the council. The commissions and advisory boards are appointed by the city council. The city manager appoints all other city staff. Appointment of the city attorney is subject to approval by the council.

Chanhassen Parks

Residents take pride in the city park system, which has 34 community, neighborhood and open space locations with over 70 miles of trails. The City of Chanhassen’s plan is to provide a park within a half-mile of every resident’s front door. With the exception of some of Chanhassen’s more rural areas, this goal has been attained. Carver County operates the 350-acre Minnewashta Regional Park in western Chanhassen. On its southern border is the Minnesota River Valley Wildlife Refuge. The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum borders Chanhassen to the west. Call Chanhassen Parks & Recreation at 952-227-1121 to make picnic reservations or to reserve a volleyball kit.
