Help Restore an Iconic Park for Everyone

An oasis in downtown Saint Paul, Irvine Park is a place for relaxation, celebrations, exercise, and gathering. Steps from the city center, the park has been a peaceful gathering place for generations.

Historic Irvine Park Association is dedicated to maintaining and preserving this iconic destination and surrounding historic district. We are also enlivening the park with free music!

Revitalizing Irvine Park

Progress to date:

With the help of friends like you, the historic central fountain has been restored and re-installed, the gazebo has been repaired and repainted; and diseased Ash trees have been replaced.

In 2025-2026 we will be partnering with the City of Saint Paul to repair broken pavement and replace light fixtures within the park. The goal for this phase is $75,000. Can we count on your gift to help raise the next $50,000?

Gifts to the campaign can come in many forms: Cash (checks or securely online), IRA Distributions, Donor Advised Funds, Appreciated Stocks. All gifts are fully tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor
