Saturday October 20th turned out to be a perfectly glorious day for the Pals of Hamline Park and volunteers to paint games and giant elephant and dino footprints on the paths of Hamline Park. Park users, die-hard paint the pavement converts, and other volunteers painted playful images and dedicated a peace pole at the neighborhood park on Snelling and Thomas. In the spring, the Pals hope to install a tot lot...and perhaps paint even more! Map>>
