Phalen Regional Park offers outdoor recreation and popular events
Living in Prosperity Heights means you are just over a mile from Phalen Regional Park in Payne-Phalen, one of the largest parks on the East Side. “Everyone knows Phalen, and the thing is, it’s so accessible,” Dominguez Gonzalez says. “You could be coming from Maplewood... and it’s right there at the center.” At the heart of the park is Lake Phalen, with its sandy beaches and boat docks. Other amenities include:
Miles of multiuse trails, where you can bike and hike
The Saint Paul-Changsha China Friendship Garden, known for its striking pavilion
A recreation center, which has a full gym and programs for all ages
Phalen Park Golf Course, a public, 18-hole course
Playgrounds and athletic fields, where you can bring the kids
The park hosts several events throughout the year, from regular 5Ks to annual celebrations. One of the most popular events is the Dragon Festival, which is held every July. The day kicks off with dragon boat racing, and the rest of the schedule includes other Asian-Pacific educational, athletic and artistic activities throughout the year.
