Union Park District
How Far Is It?
Sidewalk Poetry
Bike Routes
The Union Park District Council
(District 13) is made up of the Merriam
Park, Snelling Hamline, and
Lexington-Hamline neighborhoods.
Biking and walking for shopping
or errands are great opportunities
to integrate physical activity into
your daily routine.
Everyday Poems for City Sidewalk
is a project created by Saint Paul’s
Public Artist in Residence, Marcus
Young and friends, Saint Paul Public
Works, and Public Art Saint Paul.
The project works in tandem with
the city’s sidewalk maintenance
program and installs poetry where
city sidewalks are replaced.
Use the map and these route
suggestions to find safe and
comfortable ways to get
around town on
two wheels.
Formed in 2007 when these three
well-established district councils
combined, the new district council was
named Union Park in 2008 to suggest
the merger and the area’s historical
connection to the former Union Park
(now Iris Park) along University Ave.
A 150 lb. adult burns around
235 calories per hour walking
(at 3 mph) and about 500 calories
per hour biking (at 10 mph).
