	Joy Park summer wildflowers and insects are available for viewing


	“Under a magnificent canopy of oaks, along the shores of Silver Lake, Joy Park blooms. Wildflowers carpet the woodlands, waterfowl are plentiful, and the fishing is good enough to keep the anglers coming back.” — City of Maplewood Parks and Recreation

	Joy Park at Silver Lake MHN91

	About Uploaded on Oct 31, 2010 Technically located in Maplewood along the north shore of Silver Lake-but treated as part of North St. Paul Minnesota by the locals. Shot in 1990 and again in 2008, some of the video has my friends and I running around in it. This is mainly due to the fact that there wouldn't be much footage from 1990 if I ommitted it. What may make it interesting for locals is the changes to the park that has taken place since 1990; some of which can be seen when comparing the 2008 footage to the older footage.
