Wheelock Triangles

Charming Roadside Greenery

Wheelock Triangles is exactly what its name suggests - two small, triangular-shaped patches of green that flank Wheelock Parkway just west of Lake Phalen in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

These modest green spaces function as traffic islands along the parkway, adding a touch of nature to the urban landscape while helping define the roadway's path. Nothing fancy, just simple pockets of calm amid the city hustle.

A Breath of Fresh Air

Despite their compact size, these triangles play their part in Saint Paul's ongoing mission to weave green spaces throughout the city.

With their grassy areas and scattered trees, they offer a splash of greenery and visual relief along your drive or bike ride on the parkway.

To be honest - these aren't destination parks with playgrounds or picnic tables. Their charm lies in their simplicity, quietly enhancing the parkway's character rather than demanding attention.

Getting Around

Unlike many neighboring parks, Wheelock Triangles lacks sidewalks along portions of its edges, particularly where it meets Greenbrier and Arlington streets.

This might affect your plans if you're thinking of walking around or accessing these green spaces on foot. Just something to keep in mind as you explore this small but pleasant corner of Saint Paul.
