On June 16th, 2021 we celebrated the opening of the new Midway Peace Park! Midway Peace Park is another key component of the City of Saint Paul’s vision to create vibrant outdoor gathering spaces that strengthen community connections along the Green Line.

We organized activities for all ages will be offered, including yoga, basketball, sidewalk chalk, music and entertainment, tours of the new amenities, vendor tables, and more! Come hungry–food trucks will also be on site.

Mayor Carter joined park collaborators in a program and ribbon cutting at 4pm to mark the grand opening of the new park.

Our goal is to empower our community via the park. Join us!
