Help Restore an Iconic Park for Everyone
An oasis in downtown Saint Paul, Irvine Park is a place for relaxation, celebrations, exercise, and gathering. Steps from the city center, the park has been a peaceful gathering place for generations.
Historic Irvine Park Association sponsors is dedicated to maintaining and preserving this iconic destination. We are also enlivening the park with community events and summer music series (PDF).
We are also leading the charge to revitalize and the authentic beauty of Irvine Park for generations to come.

Revitalizing Irvine Park
Progress to date:
With the help of friends like you, the gazebo has been repaired and repainted; and diseased Ash trees have been replaced.
In 2024 the iconic central fountain will get new electrical wiring and lights. In 2025, the exterior metal will be restored and conserved. Park fans have already contributed $100,000 toward the fountain restoration. Can we count on your gift to help raise the next $50,000?
Gifts to the campaign can come in many forms: Cash (checks or securely online), IRA Distributions, Donor Advised Funds, Appreciated Stocks. All gifts are fully tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor

We are working with Saint Paul Parks and Public Works to restore broken hardscape and repair park lighting thanks to the new “Common Cents” sales tax for deferred maintenance.
