Wheelock Triangles

Unique Parkway Features

Wheelock Triangles consists of two small, triangular-shaped parks surrounding Wheelock Parkway west of Lake Phalen in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

These modest green spaces serve as traffic islands along the parkway, helping to define the roadway and provide small pockets of nature within the urban environment.

Green Space Purpose

While limited in size, the triangles contribute to the city's efforts to maximize green space throughout Saint Paul.

The triangular parks offer grassy areas and some trees, providing a bit of greenery and visual interest along the parkway.

Their primary function appears to be aesthetic, enhancing the parkway's appearance rather than serving as destination parks with extensive amenities or facilities.
