I can verify that Scott Keenan Park is indeed referenced in the Duluth Parks and Recreation Master Plan in chapter five. Here's the passage:

There are other tax forfeited lands which contain high quality natural resources. The significant natural resources sites (as defined by the Mayor's Taskforce for Recommending the Re-use and Development of City Land and Protection Parcels of Public Significance) should be protected through conservation easements or other suitable protection methods by either the City or the County. While the County is looking to gain revenue from the sale of these tax forfeited lands it should recognize that Duluth is part of St. Louis County and by preserving public lands it is serving County residents in Duluth and the rest of the county who enjoy Duluth's parks, trails and open space. The City owns undeveloped park lands which range in size from small, 1 acre squares to large, + 200 acre tracts of natural land. Most of the undeveloped land has a logical use (such as preserving open space, steep slopes or stream corridors) and some undeveloped park properties are likely candidates for neighborhood park use when future development occurs. The City should consider the recreation benefit and evaluate the potential to sell some undeveloped open space land such as Manchester Square, Russell Square, Scott Keenan Park, portions of Bayview School Forest and portions of Brewer-Bellvue open space.

The Parks and Rec office is closed today for Veteran's Day, so to find out where Scott Keenan Park is I asked someone else I thought might know the answer -- Scott Keenan.

"There is no park called Scott Keenan Park," he said.

So, what is the Parks Dept. referring to?

Keenan was on the City Council for eight years, and during that time he convinced his fellow councilors to vote in favor of creating a park on 40th Avenue East and Jay St. in Lakeside (near Manchester and Russel Squares).



"Public Works had a tool house there where they stored sand and that kind of stuff," Keenan said. "I envisioned a soccer field and playground equipment there. It's flat, it's beautiful, it's perfect for that. Of course, money has always been an issue and it's never developed."

And the name?

"Some people have been calling that Scott Keenan Park, but it's not official -- trust me. They're doing it only to be funny, I think."

Classic.
