Pond-Dakota Mission Park is a historically significant 40-acre park in Bloomington, Minnesota. It overlooks the Minnesota River Valley and provides stunning blufftop views of the valley. The park also proffers ample public parking, restroom facilities, and access to the Minnesota River Bottoms Single Track Trail at the bluff's base.
The park is the site of the original log mission house of the Oak Grove Mission, built by Gideon and Samuel Pond in 1843, near Chief Cloud Man's Dakota village. The mission served the Dakota tribe until their relocation to a reservation further up the Minnesota River, following the 1851 Treaty of Traverse des Sioux. In 1856, Gideon Pond dismantled the original log mission house and moved his family into a newly constructed brick house that still stands. The timbers from the mission house were repurposed to build a structure to the east of the brick house.
