Ah ok. I’m thinking of the marker, which is right by Falcon Heights Community Park, a park I was stuck on earlier. Lol. 

I saw someone post some where that they thought Bomb Cyclone (BC) was referring to Battle Creek. If you use that mentality, Central Park is between Co Rd B2 and Co Rd C. Just a thought.

The he 45h parallel is Roselawn  Ave.    South of 36. Como Park 

Isn’t the 45th Parallel near Central Park in Roseville?

In my mind, this has always been a dual hunt between two parks: Como and Phalen.

If we return to Clue 1: "these rhymes" refer to "Take a break" from Hamilton. Looking at the lyrics for that song we see: 
"There's a lake I know
I know
In a nearby park
I'd love to go
You and I can go when the night gets dark
I will try to get away"

This would narrow it down to three parks nearby with lakes: Como, Phalen and Crosby, however, if we look more deeply into the clue, we see specific references to Como and Phalen:
Battle (Midway): Possible reference to Midway Parkway (Como) or the 45th Parallel (Phelan)
Follow your muse: Hamilton/Hamline (Como) or Frost Ave or Poetry Park (Phelan)

These parallels continue through many of the clues.

And that is right next to where the USS Swordfish is. Messing with our minds.  hahaha

I agree! Those early clues were trying to get people to the right park (or trip us up).  The use or non-use of commas in all of the clues is interesting. People always use commas wrong so that is an interesting little piece that you noticed. I think the clues of the streets are now bringing us to the piece of Central Park that is between Lexington (battle) and Victoria (Queen).  Is the North piece of clue 8 giving us the part of the park?  The North area is ball fields and a lake then further down is the parking lot with the spaceship and playground area. 

still having a hard time leaving como, going back to possible boxing references from clue 3 and 4. Especially bomb cyclone which is a winter storm.

Jeffery Warner (AKA j.w. Storm) who used to be a professional wrestler and boxer owns the biggest house on churchHILL. Overlooking the park

There are sections of Central Park identified as Dale-East and Dale-West. Perhaps another way to interpret Clue #2

Clue #8
Not with cape, but maybe rake, A hero, by another name, With studious guys, searched for the prize
And up north the puck did claim.
You are right - there are strange pauses in this clue. A comma is used to separate ideas or clauses. Are these pieces all separate and not as related as they seem? 

Yeah, now with clue 8, I have to go NORTH to Central...makes complete sense to abandon Como at this time.

I think you are right. Central Park fits the Queen clue so much better than Como and as others have said, Central Park has that New York connection. There is also a Brooks Ave that goes around the Southern portion of the park and Chatsworth, Churchill, Oxford and Lexington all run in to it.

Any thoughts on why more commas were used in this clue compared to how prior clues have been punctuated (or not)?

WBL is also the HQ site of Hockey Day in MN this year.

I think this clue is about Jake - ryhmes with rake. A "hero" for finding the puck with only 3 clues and causing a second medallion to be hidden - in Central Park. 

Come down from your perch clue I thought bald eagle in white bear

WBL is north of St. Paul. 

Reference to Crosby who was a farmer

clue may 8 refer to Herb Brooks who I believe went to school and grew up by Phalen.
