Wicaḣapi Regional Park

I visited this park in the morning hours. This is when it is at its best. You can see eagles and deer here if you are quiet. It is absolutely lovely in the Fall. A note on the homeless staying in the park. In 2023, they used the Echo Pavillion as a shelter. This is not a suitable place to shelter. Wind and rain howls through this structure in storms, and when it is being used this way, park guests can not visit it. This year, the issue in the park is people parking overnight in their cars and sleeping in them, especially along the curb next to the picnic area. On one occasion, one of these overnight sleepers menaced a park guest using the fitness trail. I have seen them stepping out of their cars and just waiting. These persons present a hazard to cyclists and pedestrians using the trail.

Lovely park with an interesting group of people that you sometimes see at the end of the day on a summer night. Other than that there are very good views of the city of Saint Paul and is a nice place to just "let go" for a few minutes. Also fun to see the fireworks on the 4th. 🙂

This park has a lot to offer. Open fields, park benches, Pavilions, a playground, public restroom, even a wonderful scenic view of the city. The burial grounds can also be a great sight if your into it. One complaint I do have however is that there's an ugly tennis court with cracks everywhere, and grass growing all over the court. Compared to the rest of the park it just looks hideous. The city either needs to tear it down or renovate it. Aside from that you got yourself a nice park. This place seems ideal for family picnics, or short strolls.

Very nice park, a decent amount of people there. Very peaceful. Kind of overshadowed by the airport, which is visible from the park. Good view of Saint Paul

So, I've been doing this thing since Daylight Savings time happened a few weeks ago, that I was going to try once a week (whether permitting) to go visit a spot in or around the Twin Cities and watch the sun set after work. This past week, I went to Indians Mound Park in St. Paul and was not disappointed. The park offers a unique view of the river and the city behind it - and it also boasts 6 prehistoric Indian burial mounds. It's pretty sweet. I'd like to go back in the spring or summer because there was still quite a bit of snow on the ground and I wasn't able to explore the park as much as I would've like. Overall, it looks well-kept and seems like I fun place to take in. As I drove down the hill, I was able to capture several other photos, and it brought pure joy to my heart to see that I wasn't the only one enjoying mother nature's work of art that evening.

Excellent spot to host events as well as just hangout with friends a d family. Great play ground for kids. Very clean and we'll take care of.

Such a beautiful place to walk and enjoy the nature and history inside of a major city. Hopefully they don't take away the trail like the proposed signs around!!
