Ah. No, I don't think that means anything. It's just due to different mediums allowing for different widths.
Here is what's puzzling me. It seems to me that the end of clue 2 is pretty clearly saying that the park shares a name with a county. Looking at all the park pool guesses and things people are posting, vey few other people seem to be taking that into account.

Thanks,

Ha, I just realized I gave my post the wrong title. These are the PP clues. 
I heard someone else mention a variation between the paper clue and the online clue, but I couldn't see what difference was?

Do you guys think the 2 different clue 3 make a difference?

Sorry, I fell asleep last night.

Clue #1

At last it’s time for vexatious rhyme

To goad you to fortune and fun

Here’s a clue: Something old, something new

Off you go! The race has begun

 

Clue #2

This is the year of the pioneer

An enterprise first of its kind

An event historic we feel euphoric

Like a park hunter grasping the find

 

It’s the 175th year since that newsman came here

With his press afloat he did embark

He’s got his own county, a majestic bounty

That he’s got in common with the park

 

Clue #3

The search for gold never gets old

This year, add beer can and gnome

Sincerest flattery or idle chattery?

Our treasure sits atop the loam.

3 : Long Lake
2: Perry Park
2: Tony Schmidt
2: Bald Eagle
1: Goodrich

For clue 2 and going forward until I feel like I have a clue to where it is, keep my

10 on Central Park.

For this round: 2- Battle Creek 2- Bald Eagle/Otter Lake 2- Lilydale 2- Phalen 2- Central

I think you may be right about Bald Eagle/Otter Lake Regional Park, David. But not for the connection to Otter Tail County and Goodhue County.
This may be the connection:

Below is from the article:
A few of the other Bald Eagle historical fun facts learned during the presentation included:     • The first settlers came in the mid-1800s and most were French, English or German. One of the early settlers worked for the Minnesota Pioneer and promoted the lake in that newspaper.

For this round...
2- Battle Creek
2- Phalen
2- Bald Eagle
2- Lilydale
2- Cherokee

But I’m still going with 10 on Newell Park.

There is a Dousman Park on West Goodhue St. in St. Paul.
