CITY OF LITTLE CANADA - PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN11 <br />Income <br />Median family income in Little Canada is $67,826. This is slightly less <br />than the median family income in Ramsey County of $69,079. Between <br />2000 and 2010, the percent of individuals in Little Canada living in <br />poverty rose from 5.5% to 10.8%. <br />System Overview <br />Little Canada’s park system is comprised of a variety of parks, facilities, <br />and trails. Residents currently have access to 178 acres of public park <br />space within the City limits, including 9 city parks, 1 county park, 2 <br />school parks, and 1 nature area. <br />Collaboration with Other Entities <br />The Little Canada park system benefits through collaborations with other <br />government and quasi‐government entities. For example, the City of <br />Little Canada and the Ramsey‐Washington Metro Watershed District <br />collaborated in the development of Gervais Mill Park. In addition, <br />Gervais Beach is a Ramsey County Park, located within the City of Little <br />Canada, which provides recreation opportunities for Little Canada <br />residents as well as others in the region. <br />The City also has cooperative agreements with the Saint Paul Regional <br />Water System and shares Xcel Energy transmission line right‐of‐way <br />for trails and parks. The Little Canada Historical Society and Ramsey <br />County have also been good collaborative partners. The City should <br />continue to collaborate with other government entities to provide <br />parks, open space, and trails that not only benefit the residents of Little <br />Canada, but also the region.
