Como Regional Park Long-Range Plan
Project Overview
The City of Saint Paul's Parks and Recreation Department will engage community members to inform and develop an updated Long-Range Plan for Como Regional Park. The Plan update will emphasize improving the connection between the trails within the park to Saint Paul's Grand Round trail network. The process will prioritize connections around Como Lake, Picnic Pavilions, McMurray Fields and Woodland Outdoor Classroom areas over those within the Zoo, Conservatory, or Golf Course areas.
The Como Regional Park Long-Range Plan was approved by the City Council on August 14, 2024 and adopted by the Metropolitan Council on September 25, 2024. Click on the link below to view the final document.

Welcome, and thank you for joining the conversation on Como Regional Park!
The City of Saint Paul's Parks and Recreation Department will engage community members to inform and develop an update to the Plan for Como Regional Park. The primary focus of the update will be on improving the existing connections between the trails around Como Lake to Saint Paul's larger Grand Round trail network. A secondary focus of the Plan update is on improving wayfinding, safety features and other park amenities throughout the park including areas West of Lexington, such as the Woodland Outdoor Classroom and Midway Picnic Pavilion. The tools provided here allow you to exchange your ideas with the Parks and Recreation department as well as others in your community.
On this site you can:
Use the Map to drop pins, share photos and leave comments on areas of the park you'd like to see improved, or places you like the most.
Post Comments and photos to the community Ideas Board to get the conversation going with other Como Regional Park visitors.
Use the pane on the right side of the page to review the project timeline and key dates, find links to project documents, and stay informed on updates to the Plan for Como Regional Park Trail.
Funding for the Plan update has been secured from the Parks and Trails Legacy Grant.
