The beauty and solitude of the West shore of Lake Phalen in Saint Paul is threatened by the planned construction of a China Friendship Garden between the waterfall and historic bridge. This lovely, green, undeveloped area will forever be changed by the addition of a group of buildings, bridges, patios and archways. Neighbors and friends of the park wish to preserve the area as a vibrant green space, without any additional buildings or man-made structures to detract from the natural habitat.

We urge the City of Saint Paul to find another location for this project. To voice your comments, please contact Bryan Murphy at the City of Saint Paul Department of Parks and Recreation at bryan.murphy@ci.stpaul.mn.us or by phone at 651-266-6411.
