Dear St. Paul Triathletes,
I’m sure everyone is as excited as I am about the upcoming event. Here is some additional information.
Directions to Lake Phalen
The park and beach is located on the Northwest section of St. Paul. Arcade Ave, which is also Hwy. 61, borders the west side of the park. Wheelock Parkway borders the south side. The entrance to the park is on Wheelock Parkway. See attached map.
Parking
There should be enough parking within and around the park for all competitors. The Phalen Rec Center is located across the Wheelock Parkway and is also available. If for some reason you do not park in the park, please do not cut across the golf course. The golf course will be open on Sunday morning. When the parking lots are full, the best place is street parking south of Lake Phalen.
