(KNSI) – One of St. Cloud’s newest parks is expanding thanks to a donation of land.
George Friedrich Park will grow by four acres thanks to the Upgren / Marrin property donation along Highway 10 near the prison. The land was included in the city’s master plan for Friedrich Park.
The 50-acre park opened in 2015 after being purchased by the city from St. Cloud State University. The area is the site of the old Gottfried Hilder’s granite quarry, which closed in 1934.
The St. Cloud City Council accepted the land during Monday’s meeting.
