Twin Cities Business Listing

Hillcrest Knoll Park is located blocks from the Saint Paul/Maplewood border along Larpenteur Avenue. Family friendly amenities include trails, open space for free play, and benches for resting. In 2022, the city added a 9-hole disc golf course.

This park was built to absorb runoff when rains are heavy, so it may not always be useable for play.
