Central Village Park is a hidden gem located in the historic Rondo neighborhood in Saint Paul, MN. Former Mayor Melvin Carter gave a proclamation for July 13th as Central Village Park Day. This day is to honor the history of the park and land being designated to the Black community after the destruction of Interstate 94, and the evolution of immigrant neighbors who migrated to the community in the late 1970's. Our community was uniquely designed and has been a space where people from across the world have made their home. This event is all about spreading LOVE, Peace, and Unity, and embracing our neighborhood we all share and call home in RONDO!
