Sip for a cause this summer!

We are thrilled to partner with The Saint Paul Hotel on a special summer fundraiser celebrating one of our city's most iconic public spaces: Rice Park!

Introducing the Endless Summer in Rice Park cocktail. This refreshing seasonal sip features a crisp blend of:

Gin

Pomegranate liqueur

Fresh lemon juice & simple syrup

Muddled blackberries & basil

The best part? A portion of every cocktail sold directly supports the Saint Paul Parks Conservancy’s mission to enhance, activate, and care for our local parks and green spaces.

If you're looking for a delicious way to give back this season, head over to The Saint Paul Hotel, grab a seat, and raise a glass to the spaces that bring our community together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Party for the Parks last week!

It was a special evening filled with celebration, connection, and gratitude as we came together to honor the incredible volunteers, partners, supporters, and community champions who help make Saint Paul’s parks and green spaces thrive.

From inspiring stories to memorable moments, the evening was a wonderful reminder that our parks are strengthened by the people who care for them, advocate for them, and bring them to life every day.

We've gathered some favorite photos from the evening and a special one-minute video of Thomasina Petrus' heartfelt original thank-you song honoring this year's award recipients. We hope they bring back a few smiles and remind you of the remarkable people who make our parks stronger every day.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the individuals whose dedication, generosity, and passion make our community stronger. We are grateful for your support and for all those who help our parks shine.
