Westgate Commons Park is a new 1.5 acre park located at 717 Berry Street, just three blocks south of the Westgate light rail station on the border of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The park features a picnic area, barbecue grills, small play structure, and open lawn area.
Community Survey
SAPCC is working with CURA Graduate Student Researcher, Ezgi Ozcelik to provide essential information about who is using the newly established Westgate Commons Park, how local residents and non-residents are engaging with the space, and what other amenities park users would like to see in the area. Ezgi will be observing and surveying park users throughout the summer. If you miss her at the park, you can fill out the survey online by clicking the button below. Responses will be used to guide the Council in working with the City to make the new park a great destination. Findings will be shared at the opening celebration of the park, in conjunction with the 2nd Annual SAPCC Ice Cream Social on Saturday, September 16.
