The Best Public Parks in St Paul

Fort Snelling State Park is one of our favorite parks in the Twin Cities. Come and see where the mighty Mississippi meets the Minnesota River. Hike around Pike Island or other trails. The deer are friendly. We cross-country skied through a herd of deer. Some didn't get up, they just watched us and I spoke to them. One day I approached a doe with three fawns. The doe wasn't afraid, she would have eaten out of my hand if I had food for her. The wild turkey is friendly too.

Rice Park spending spectacle of downtown Saint Paul was a beautiful Fountain and statues are surrounded by some of the most historical buildings in Saint Paul the Saint Paul Hotel did James J Hill Reference Library Saint Paul Central library the Minnesota Club the Ordway Center for the Arts and the store at Landmark Center Life Park Rice Park must see.

Mears Park is a beautiful place to relax on the edge of Lowertown! Great place to walk your dog and listen to music. The park designers really did a great job with this green space. I definitely recommend checking it out. Plus there are some very nice bars and restaurants right across the street. The birch trees are my favorite part of Mears but the stream and gorgeous flowers beds are close seconds for sure.
