Baker Recreation Center

Baker Park is a 6.5-acre public space located in the Annapolis neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota. The park serves as a vibrant community hub, offering a variety of recreational facilities and open spaces for residents and visitors to enjoy.

The park features a recreation center that provides indoor activities and programs for people of all ages. Outdoor spaces include multiple sports facilities, catering to various athletic interests and providing opportunities for both organized and casual play.

In 2024, the City of Saint Paul initiated a redesign project for Baker Park, funded by the Common Cent Sales Tax. The planned improvements aim to enhance the park's accessibility and usability. Key elements of the project include the installation of a new synthetic turf field, creation of accessible parking areas, improvement of walkways, addition of new plantings, and the potential construction of restroom facilities.

The park's redesign process involves significant community engagement, with the city actively seeking input from local residents to shape the future of this important neighborhood space. The project timeline extends from fall 2024 through fall 2025, with construction expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
