About the Book

Ramsey County Historical Society and the Saint Paul Parks Conservancy are proud to announce the release of Parks & People: A Colorful History of Saint Paul Parks, a unique new coloring book celebrating the beauty, history, and cultural significance of Saint Paul's beloved park system.

This beautifully illustrated, "grown-up" historical coloring book, featuring artwork by Jeanne Kosfeld and writing by Kathy Berdan, showcases 19 iconic Saint Paul parks. Readers of all ages can immerse themselves in the city’s rich history while adding their own splash of color to intricate pen-and-ink drawings. The book highlights hidden histories, environmental treasures, and the visionaries who shaped Saint Paul's nationally acclaimed park system.

Books will be available for purchase at the event, online and at select park and retail locations.
