besides believing its not at newell.... i also believe that the measure will have something to do with the word pace... a pace accually has a numerical amount of space to it.... 3.3 feet or so and up to 5 feet in roman measurment

Stallion, Phalen's a big park... Maybe that's why 'so much' in #1. I don't know.

And notice in every single clue, there's two of everything...

I really thought I had it.

And that truck that kept driving past Wed. nite... SHEESH! Maybee I'm lucky to bee alive!!!!

the turning machine could have something to do with the space needle at the fair, which is north of the park

The simple explanation:

Clue #1- In a St. Paul park, not on a golf course.

Clue #2- Still not 100% sure myself. Might just mean the park has tennis courts.

Clue #3- There are a couple of towers visible from the park (attempt to be sneaky coming up) Look for the MEDALLION in Boreas' direction (north by my interpretation).

Clue #4- The park has multiple picnic shelters

Clue #5- The park is near the State Fair

Clue #6- The park is near train tracks

Clue #7- The park lies between Fairview (pleasant scene) and Wheeler (a turning machine).

I can't get #7 to fit, Stall, but #6 - there's an old train bed to the east of Phalen. Even overlooks the car racing 'track.'

It's at NEWELL For the love of god!

Here's the thing I don't like about Newell, aside the fact that it's NEWELL AND WE ALL ( or some of us) FELL FOR IT LAST YEAR!

#5- opposites atract, cloudy and foul= fair> fairview

#7 - pleasant scene> fairview

Why would the clue writer reiterate what's already been said?

pace can be a rate of speed or "one foot in front of the other measuring", ace could mean "one"

the opposite of cloudy is not fair.... why dont u people get that... if a weatherman says its fair to partly cloudy.. then if there opposites.. thats a double negative weather report ... i know they lie but come on...

Yes I'm going out tomorrow morning, and fair is the opposite of cloudy. Fair to partly cloudy means between none and some. Cloudy is completely cloudy. So fair (no clouds) is the opposite of cloudy (all clouds).
