Twin Cities Hidden Gems
Our Team specializes and is dedicated to serving home buyers and sellers in the Twin Cities and throughout the 13 counties and outer Metro areas. And as real estate advocates in the Twin Cities, we would like to highlight all of those popular destinations in both St. Paul and Minneapolis. We will also feature local events and businesses on this page.
Our First Stop:
Reservoir Woods Park
Reservoir Woods Park is a public park in Roseville. The largely undeveloped 115-acre (47 ha) property contains some of the highest ground in the city and two dog parks. The site of the park contains a 30 million-gallon aboveground reservoir that was built and operated by the City of Saint Paul. The land was sold to the City of Roseville in 1997, after the old 90 million-gallon reservoir built in 1918 became outdated and was taken out of service.
When Roseville created Reservoir Woods Park, the land was intentionally left in a very forest-like state. Very little development has been done other than building a paved trail through the park and maintaining various natural-surface trails. The park's paved trail connects to the McCarrons Lake paths and Trout Brook Regional Trail to the east, side paths along Roselawn Avenue and Lexington Avenue to the west, a side path along Dale Street to the north, and the parking area off Larpenteur Avenue to the south.
