A condensed history of Lexington School, including censuses from 1923 and 1946, can be found here . The Rose Township Directory and some biographies for from Neill's History of Ramsey County and the City of St. Paul is here . The property was sold to a private investor by the School District in 1988, and since then the neighborhood has worked to save this site for the community. Set amidst single family homes, many people in the neighborhood still make use of the park, from young families through retired citizens. The City purchased the remaining acres in 1993, and the City Council rezoned the entire site as park in 2000.
Action Plan adopt Lexington Park, clean it up and keep it clean.
We want to continue our active planting program to beautify the park and construct a memorial to the school. Contributions to benefit the park are tax-deductible. The Friends will work with the Parks and Recreation Commission to develop a phased plan. Ideas include more trees and gardens, sculptures, pathways, a fountain and rest area, additional playground equipment, year-round surfacing for the hockey rink, etc. inform the neighborhood about the developments at the City Council, with City staff and the City Commissions that affect Lexington Park and the neighborhood. The official Roseville Comprehensive Plan zoning map for the area is maintained by the Economic Development Department.
