WJON – The plan to reopen a once very popular park in southeast St. Cloud is a step closer to reality. The St. Cloud city council voted this (Monday) evening to approve a land swap with St. Cloud State University.
The city will get 51 acres of George Friedrich park, while SCSU will get just under five acres of land adjacent to the parking lot south of the National Hockey Center. The value of the park land is appraised at $328,000, while the value of the city land is appraised at $294,000.
