More Ways to help

People are the pulse of the city – parks let them breathe. Parks are the city dweller’s backyard – an essential center for family and cultural life. The Coronavirus pandemic has certainly shown us all that parks are needed more than ever. Saint Paul is home to one of the country’s most celebrated park systems. With 184 parks and approximately 5000 acres of parkland, private/public partnership is essential to the continued success of our park system.

Your support will ensure that our parks and recreational facilities evolve and thrive as our city grows and diversifies.
