The Northeast Farmers Market is located right here in the Saint Anthony West Neighborhood.

STAWNO made a commitment in 2012 to begin treating ash trees for Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) – the idea came from Chris Linde, who had seen the harm to the neighborhood when all the boulevard trees on a block were removed at one time – he knew there had to be a better solution. Working with the Park Board, STAWNO came up with a plan to treat some of the ash trees to slow the spread of the disease while planting the next generation of boulevard trees. It is a 10-year plan so we will be well on the way to a new tree canopy when the final treatment is made in 2020. STAWNO pays for this program with a City grant. We ask for your help to water the young trees.
Check out these links from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to learn more about Emerald Ash Borer: remaining ash in our neighborhood and general information on EAB.
Dickman Park is one of the jewels of our park system: a place to relax, a place where folks come to meet, and a place for kids and families to enjoy the wading pool. The park is located just south of 8th Ave NE between Main and 2nd Streets NE.
Dickman Park is home to “summer of fun,” a six-week festival that is held during the months of June and July – supervised activities for kids, family entertainment, a community picnic, and a movie night. There is no charge for summer of fun because STAWNO uses proceeds from the 5K Run/Walk and a grant from the City to pay for the services. According to neighbor Michael Rainville, “It’s wonderful to see neighbors meet one another for the first time at Dickman Park and to see kids come together to play and make friendships that will last a lifetime.”
Watch for an announcement of the 2020 Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk. The fundraiser is held in early October at Boom Island Park and follows a truly beautiful route along the Mississippi River. Proceeds from the fundraiser support local programs including the summer festival at Dickman Park.
Use this link to register as a runner or walker. And, for those who want to volunteer to help, remember you receive a free shirt and a brat from Kramarczuk’s.
The fundraiser would not be possible without the generous support of our volunteers and donations from our sponsors. We have contributed over $100,000 from the fundraiser to help pay for local services including the community picnic. Mark your calendar and join us at Boom Island Park.
Take a look at recent printed materials that STAWNO has mailed to households and neighborhood businesses. For the most current news, we suggest that you sign-up for e-blasts.
