About the Location
Urban Design Feature
Holcombe Circle is a small traffic island park located at the intersection of St. Albans Street and Laurel Avenue in Saint Paul, Minnesota. This mini park serves as the centerpiece of a roundabout, bordering the northeast corner of Webster Park.
As a traffic circle, it primarily functions to manage vehicular flow while also providing a modest green space within the urban landscape.
Space and Appearance
Covering an area of approximately 0.2 acres, Holcombe Circle offers a compact yet visually appealing break in the streetscape. The circle contributes to the neighborhood's aesthetics, potentially featuring grass, trees, or other simple landscaping elements typical of such small urban spaces.
Environmental Benefits
Given its size and location, Holcombe Circle is not designed for active recreation but rather serves as a passive green space. It likely provides some environmental benefits such as stormwater management and urban heat reduction, while also potentially offering a visual respite for passersby and local residents.
