When asked what his favorite park was Brandon said “there are so many great parks in Saint Paul it’s hard to just pick one. I could easily say Raspberry Island which is my wife’s favorite, it is also where I proposed to her. However, personally I really enjoy the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary. The fact that you can be near the action in downtown Saint Paul and a few steps later feel like you are in the wilderness is great amenity for our community.”

Parks do something more for our communities than provide a place to play with your kids or read a book or eat a quick lunch on your break.  Parks are important because they provide a space for communities to grow and thrive.
