About Phalen Regional Park
The City of Saint Paul acquired the land in 1899 at a cost of $22,000. The park was opened to the public soon after. The park named after early settler Edward Phalen whose last name was variously spelled. Phalen staked one of the first claims to the land around Phalen Creek.
