From I-94, take St. Augusta exit (first one
if coming from Twin Cities) to St. Cloud. Go right and stay on County
Road 75 (Roosevelt Road) going north until 22nd Street (4th traffic
light). Turn right on 22nd and go 2 blocks to light (Clearwater
Road/9th Avenue). Turn left (north) on Clearwater/9th and go 2 blocks.
You'll see a small park on the right/east and the site is on the
north side. Turn right on 16th Street and head back towards the
park, where there is plenty of space to park.
