North High Bridge Park

North High Bridge Park sits at the northern end of the Smith Avenue High Bridge and features outdoor art installations with walking paths along the Mississippi River. The space spreads as a green area with multiple artworks that invites strollers to enjoy river and skyline views.

The park was established in 1987 as part of Saint Paul's plans to create additional green spaces and art venues. This development was part of a broader city renewal effort to provide more public places for recreation and culture.

The park displays several outdoor artworks that visitors encounter while walking, including a sculpture depicting a watcher and a memorial honoring Czech immigrants. These pieces tell stories about the community and its connection to the river.

The park provides drinking fountains, benches, and picnic areas for visitors to use. The pathways are easy to access and allow for relaxed walks with views over the river and city.

The park connects directly to Capitol View Park across the Smith Avenue High Bridge, creating a continuous pathway for exploring multiple locations. This link allows visitors to discover two distinct green spaces in a single visit.
