Roadside park was constructed in the
1930's. These benches were built by unemployed stonemasons
using limestone quarried from the Minnesota River by the Mendota
Bridge.
The Beehive barbeque was built in
1939 and is being transported from Lilac Park to Roadside Park.
Roadside park is located in St. Louis
Park, MN @ Hwy. 100 and 7, near the Nordic Ware Tower.

these parks, benches and beehives please visit the link below.
