Residential streets. The neighborhood has plenty of free parking on residential streets north and west of
the park (in gray on the neighborhood map). If you park west of the park, Minnehaha Parkway goes over
Hiawatha Avenue, and 50th Street has a controlled crossing. Mark your parking spot on the
neighborhood map.
