Volunteers build new playground at Newell Park

On Oct. 22, 2026, hours upon hours of planning, prepping, and building, cumulated in a new playground at Newell Park. This project was a result of collaboration by The Saint Paul Parks Conservancy, Saint Paul Parks and Recreation, KABOOM!, Ecolab, Securian Financial and Kindling Impact Foundation.

"We are so proud to have this improved playground in our ward, and we are even more proud that the work was done by amazing volunteers. Thank you everyone for your hard work!" said Ward 4 Council Member Molly Coleman.
