At a Community Meeting held on May 30, Parks & Rec revealed early site planning for the $1.1m+ investment into Linwood Park. The City presented its plans and a really thoughtful discussion followed, with lots of great ideas from community members.

After hearing feedback at the meeting and sharing a second community survey which drew almost 300 responses, the City is ready to share revisions to the proposed site plan with the community:

Thursday, August 15, 6:30pm at Linwood Recreation Center

A summary of the City of Saint Paul's neighborhood survey on initial park designs was released earlier this month. Check out the summary of survey results here.

Our main takeaway from the survey is that while there was a preference of the three site options presented, there is still plenty of feedback that the City should consider in future concept revisions. There is general community consensus on the importance of accessibility, desire for additional landscaping and cohesive walking paths, hope for additional amenities like water features and dog park, and interest in looking at more options for court locations.

If you are interested in the future of Linwood Park, including the new playspace, amphiteater, multi-use field, and pickleball courts, we encourage you to attend on Thursday and hear from Parks & Rec directly. Like last time, there will be an opportunity to give feedback directly and ask questions.
