St. Paul Union Park Neighbors Forum

Welcome to St Paul's Union Park Neighbors Forum - Join In!

This forum is the online neighborly place to share information, discuss local issues, find solutions, and build a vibrant community. We cover all the neighborhoods within the Union Park District Council area of Saint Paul, including:

• Merriam Park
• Snelling Hamline
• Lexington-Hamline
• Desnoyer Park. 

While this is an independent forum, it serves as a friendly complement to the important work of the Union Park District Council, providing a convenient way to engage in discussions on neighborhood issues without leaving home.
