It can sometimes feel difficult to leave the busyness of a large city. There’s always an event, traffic, or some other factor that pulls you from your peace and forces you to take notice. That’s why it’s so important to have places in the city that can act as an oasis from the constant hustle-and-bustle activity. In the Twin Cities, there are a few places that offer just the peace you’re looking for. One of our favorites is a large park in St. Paul that offers plenty of quiet and tranquility. Take a look:

Battle Creek Regional Park is a beautiful, 1,840-acre space in St. Paul and Maplewood, Minnesota. Address: 83 B Street, Saint Paul, MN 55106.
