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.

Improved trail surfaces for roller-skiing and inline skating
Some trail sections are rough for roller-skiing and inline skating: bike path around the lake (especially the south side), the path along Lexington just south of Como Ave, and the path that connects to the lake by going under Lexington and by the back of the street car station

Portapotties and garbage/recycling containers at regular intervals would be helpful to visitors and regular walkers.

I'd like to see dedicated walking trails in the park, so we walkers don't always need to be alert to bicyclists coming up from behind.

One section on the bike/ped trail (that I am aware of) needs lighting.
Not sure if this issue applies to this particular survey... But on the path paralleling Como Ave between Hamline & Midway Parkway, there are one or two areas that curve through little wood pockets that are completely dark. At night it's hard to see the path and anyone coming around a corner. I imagine it also probably feels unsafe to some people to suddenly be in a small woods in total darkness.
