Sackett Park

Sackett Park is named for a police officer killed in the line of duty in the 1970's. It is connected to the Boys and Girls Club. On the eastern end is a wooded area with a stream running through it, part of the outlet from Beaver Lake (to the east).

Barclay Ave. Open Space

Not part of the park system, this is the right of way of Barclay Street south of Magnolia, making a pedestrian shortcut.

Ames Lake

Ames Lake is one of the newest parks in St. Paul. Formerly the site of a shopping center that was built on a filled wetland, the wetland has been restored. Southeast of Lake Phalen, it is north of Magnolia, south of Rose, west of Barclay and east of Johnson Pkwy.

Lane Park

This small park just south of Lake Phalen is a triangle formed in the split of Lane Place and Jessamine Ave. Both the park and the street were named for developer Den. E. Lane. There are some picturesque cottages surrounding the park, offset by signs warning of ordinances and crime watches.

Duluth and Case Recreation Center

Formerly the Duluth Playground, this is south of Cook and East of Duluth (Case Street ends in the southern part of the field, just north of the yard waste recycling area).

Lockwood Playground

South of Magnolia, north of Cook, West of Forest and East of Mendota is this playground, which is not as developed as most playgrounds. The twin towers of St. Casimir's church are visible from it.

Dragonback Poetry Park

Dragonback Poetry Park is completely contained within Phalen Regional Park and is not recognized as being separate from it. It consists of a triangular stand with poems attached to it, a bench and some pavers with messages inscribed into them. It is south of Wheelock Parkway, west of the athletic fields.
