One of St. Paul's few natural ice rinks

The Desnoyer Park ice rink is one of the few remaining natural rinks in the City of St. Paul. The maintenance of the natural rink at Desnoyer Park is a collaborative effort between the DPIA, St. Paul Parks & Recreation, and an amazing group of neighborhood volunteers that make up the Desnoyer Ice Rink Crew.

Neighborhood Fire & Ice Event
Wed 12/28/22 5pm - 7pm

DPIA in conjunction with the Union Park District Council are sponsoring a winter event at the park. Come and enjoy the holiday season outside with neighbors. We will have hot dogs & chips while they last, s’mores to make over a bonfire, cocoa, and hopefully skating games if the rink is ready in time.
