Milky Way Hillside Park <br />This pulls from the "North Star" farm naming and the Washington County's historical society's note that <br />the cows from this farm were the primary supplier of the "Milky Way" candy bar when it was introduced <br />in Minneapolis in 1923. <br />Starlight Acres Park This is a play on Lake Elmo's "Dark Skies" and "North Star" farm's heritage. Another option would be <br />"Starlight Wetland Park" <br />North Star Preserve <br />2 <br />The name "North Star" comes from the name of the farm this parkland was once a part of.
