The Indian trail that led to their ricing and fishing areas in Forest Lake and Hugo ran across Rose Township. Dakota tribes used this trail extensively, which increased their contact with the Euro-American settlers. A reunion occurred when Cloudman's (Dakota) band was traveling on the trail and discovered that their childhood friend, Jane Gibbs, who, with her foster missionary family, had lived with them as a small child near Lake Harriet, now lived near the trail. Following the abandonment of treaty-promised payments (food rations, supplies, and money) and then the Uprising of The Dakota trail would have ran very close, if not directly on park land. I would like to honor that history.This suggestion based on the Park is smallMidland Hills Park. Because this area is anchored by the Midland Hills golf course and is generally known as the Midland Hills area. One problem with this name is that the park is flat! Alternatively Cleveland Park, given its street location. Ricing Trail ParkRoseville Midland Grove ParkMidland Hills Park
