March is messy but even then its a good place to sit and rest and people watch. It anchors the surrounding buildings with its seasonal beauty from ice sculptures to fountains.

It reminds me of a European Square. It is in the center of a wonderful collection of traditional buildings both new construction, re ode Inge, and preservations. The ST. Paul Hotel, an early 20th century restored building. The Landmark Center, and a wonderful performing arts center. The park itself has sculptures and art representative of the people of the area....

Nicely planted between many architectural beauties, both old and new.

One block in size; surrounded by historic buildings. Not much to do in cold weather. Nicer in summer.

Many times the have the Ice sculptures in this park.

Rice Park is central to the Winter Carnival activities which is where the 'dethroning' of King Boreaus by Vulcanus Rex takes place. It's beautifully decorated and surrounded year-round by history with the Landmark Center, St Paul Hotel, James J Hill Library and The Ordway.

Be sure to visit at night - looks magical with the ice sculptures and white lights.

Central downtown park, small but a nice place to sit outside for lunch in summer or walk through at night when the trees are lit up.
