and outreach to the community where citizens can visit and see a range of pollinator friendly plantings that they can reproduce in their own gardens. Note: Future custodians of the park may choose to redirect the plantings away from pollinators. Cleveland Name origin: The name comes from Horace Cleveland, an internationally known (in the late 1800s) landscape architect. He visited the city of St. Paul in 1872 and proposed a citywide park system; shortly thereafter Lake Como was purchased, eventually to be the anchor of Como Park, Zoo, and Conservatory. Cleveland also designed St. Anthony Park and the University of Minnesota campus. In the 1880’s he worked for the Minneapolis Park Board. The result of Cleveland’s vision is the famous “Grand Rounds,” an interconnected series of parkways, and parks, centered on the Mississippi River. The official title “Grand Rounds,” came much later, but Cleveland’s visionfor the scenicbywayis timeless, and the Minneapolis Grand Rounds are known today as one of the best urban park systems in the world.A similar system was planned for St Paul but was never completed. As noted above the park is located at the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and County Rd B. Note: Roseville and the rest of the metropolitan community owes a debt of gratitude to Horace Cleveland for the award-winning park systems we now enjoy.Cleveland Park would acknowledge this. Parallel Midland Name origin: (see, Midland, above) Name reasoning (by submitter): In this name ‘Midland’ refers to the Roseville neighborhood location (see above) and ‘Parallel’ refers to the 45thparallel. th Note 1:The park is not located on the 45parallel, but north of it. Note 2:The 45th parallel north is an imaginary circle of latitude that is 45 degrees north of Earth's equator. It crosses Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean. It supposedly marks the halfway point between the Equator and the North Pole (not actually a true fact due to global squash that pushes the equator outward as the world spins on its axis). There is nothing particularly special about the 45th Parallel, except as a geographic curiosity. The 45th Parallel is an abstract idea, but the marker may alert passersby to think about how Roseville is connected to the rest of the globe. Note 3: In Roseville, there is a monument located one block north of Roselawn on Cleveland avenue (not actually in the park), north of a short cul-de-sac called Loren Road on the east side of the street. It reads, 2 13
