We're excited to be kicking off a Park and Recreation System Plan with the City of West St. Paul, along with our project partners LOCi and Matrix!

The plan will seek to maximize the ways that the city's park system provides connections to the community, will provide innovative new programming and updated equipment, will increase access and programming that matches the needs of the community, and will celebrate West St. Paul's natural environment! More information on engagement, including an interactive map and survey, will be coming soon!
