Thompson County Park — Attraction in West St. Paul

This park is well laid out. It provides facilities with heated / air conditioned restrooms that also accommodate the handicapped seperatly and in both the men's and women's standard facilities. There is adequate parking. That provides safe and easy access to the sand box. The play area for you and your very young children. Along with much of the parking giving good viewing and safe access to the park and pavilions and Small lake that you can actualy fish in if you have a licence: Along with viewing and quick access to the main offices and the extensive well kept walking paths that bring you throughout the entire park. Some pathways are blacktopped. The majority are not. The pathways even bring you to a connecting walk-over bridge that gives you access to two more excellent parks. The first is a park that had held the National Frisbee Golf Tournaments and provides year round access to the golf course. The next park is a extremely pleasant stroll through an area that at one time had been the mouth area of a tributary to the Mississippi River. AND. If you have a dog. Across one of the main roads of use and commerace, ( Concord ) At the car parking area of this second connecting park is a large flat area dedicated to your pet. A dog park. Where rover can run free. Unleashed. To meet with and make new friends and frolick in the joy of safety that the enclosed area provides.

A wonderful little city park for a stroll around the 'lake'. Its a very easy, mostly level paved path. About a half mile around.
