Eileen Weida Park is bordered on the west by Desoto St. Burr St borders on the north. Burr could reference "don't wait til temps hit the 30s." Desoto is a vintage car model - referenced by "driver" in Clue 2? Not sure if other clues fit here though.
Is this too simple an explination?: "far from the path that leads to a bath" meaning it's not in muddy/swampy/wet areas "the treasure waits so alone / step out of the dark and go to the park" it's in an open clearing away from trees "but avaoid obstacles of cone" avoid areas under constructions or marked off limits (traffic cones)
In the past the first few clues are pretty basic "welcome to the treasure hunt" "follow the rules, win a prize" "it's in a park in ramsey county"

cone - pine trees - very good! Singular only to rhyme with alone. Construction nearby? Avoid the orange cone s? Public bath house back in 30s maybe...beach or ? Someone said Harriet had one..., interesting, any others? They ALWAYS put in history. Those parts I never figure out. Mike Flipp
On a similar track - a park with swimming ( beach or pool) but far from that section of the park. Eg at como but far from the pool, or at Phalen but far fromThe beach Cone I’m going to have to sit with for a bit.
