Notes When Using GPS: This Park is spelled Cavelle (with an e), but in the past, it was spelled Cavell (without an e) on the Brooklyn Park Website. They seem to have fixed this inconsistency. The street the park is on is spelled without the e. There is also a separate Cavell Playground in NE Minneapolis near the border of Columbia Heights. It is not the same park.
