We stumbled on the most wonderful little playgroun $We stumbled on the most wonderful little playground + park in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood in St Paul over the weekend and had to share. 💙 Sometimes the quiet, shady playgrounds are the best ones, right? 👏🥹 Freshly renovated with all new equipment, it sits tucked under big mature shade trees, so the kids can climb and run while you stay cool. {follow @twincitiesfamily for more family-friendly finds + things to do!} ⚽️🏀 There’s a futsal court and basketball half-court too, which makes it easy to stretch a quick stop into a whole afternoon. Bonus: it’s in the same lovely pocket of St. Paul as some of our favorites, so you can round out the visit with a pastry at @thefinnishbistro or a browse through @acorn.bookshop or lunch at @colossalcafe. (why not all three?) Little side note that made us love this special park even more: the on-site rec center is run by @j_o_t_p, a nonprofit that keeps soccer and futsal free for every kid who shows up. No tryouts or fees…just kids playing. 🫶 Save this post for your next St Paul playground adventure! 📍 South St. Anthony Park, 890 Cromwell Ave, St. Paul #twincities #twincitiesthingstodo #twincitiesfamilies #twincitiesparents #visitsaintpaul$
