Margaret Recreation Center

This rec center is between Earl and Frank Streets and between Margaret and Beech. There's a hill that gets a lot of sledding action in the winter.

This small park was an empty lot for 100 years before becoming a community garden. It's north of 4th Street, east of Earl.

Dayton's Bluff Recreation Center

This rec center is located between Conway and Euclid and between Mendota and Bates.

Three Judges Park

Not officially a park yet, this triangle at 3rd Street and Arcade Street is named for three famous judges who once lived in the area (Earl Warren, Warren Burger and... I forget the other).

Metro State Islands

Added just for completeness, there are some islands with plantings near Maria and 5th streets.

This is a fairly new park in St. Paul and quite large, with a variety of interesting geological features. The entrance is on 4th Street west of Commercial Street, under the 3rd street bridge.

Maria Avenue Triangle

This small triangle has off-and-on sported a variety of trees and flowers. It is at the intersection of Maria Avenue and McLean Avenue.

McLean/Mound Triangle

This is one of the tiniest pieces of public land in St. Paul, at the intersections of McLean Ave. and Mound Street. It's not to be confused with the nearby Maria Triangle.

Mounds Park

Indian Mound Park is frequently called "Mounds Park," but there is an actual park by that name nearby. It has a playground and athletic fields and is entered from Suburban Ave west of Earl Street.

Indian Mounds Park

Indian Mounds Park is one of the largest parks of St. Paul, famous for the burial mounds along the river bluff. It lies across the Mississippi River from the airport. The mounds themselves are near the intersection of Mounds Blvd. and Earl Street.

The very southern end of the parkway, looking north.

Johnson Parkway has a boulevard that runs from Indian Mounds Park to the south to Phalen Regional Park to the north.

This rather charming park lies in a valley north of Burns Avenue, west of Hazelwood. It's well-equipped and next to a church on the east and apartments to the northwest.

The somewhat misnamed Suburban Pond is located south of Suburban Avenue, east of White Bear Avenue. There is a tiny separate traffic triangle adjacent to it on Suburban.
