In St. Paul’s North End, Sylvan Park has undergone a $1.8 million renovation.

St. Paul City Council President Amy Brendmoen joined students from St. Paul Music Academy on Monday for the official dedication of the new Sylvan Fields off Maryland Avenue, a project that was delayed a year when contaminated soil was found during excavation of the athletic fields on the west side of the park.

The finished project includes a new pair of multiuse synthetic turf fields, a new playground area to replace the one built in 1994, and new benches and landscaping.
