The St. Anthony Police Department is dedicated to keeping you and your family safe.

The St. Anthony Police Department prides itself on the skills of its officers, training them in all phases of policing the community rather than having a few of them specializing in certain areas.

Keeping the community of St. Anthony beautiful is a priority for both the residents and the city government. Each year, there is an official \"Clean Up Day\" in May and the residents volunteer to gather and pickup any trash and debris that makes the city look less than perfect. Some residents even plant flowers and shrubs in areas to brighten the town. To get involved in this or for more information, call the St. Anthony City Hall at (612) 782-3301. Recycling is also a priority in the St. Anthony community. Your residential trash hauler provides recycling bins for your recyclables and they will also pick those materials up on a regular basis. Call one of the area\'s haulers for more information. Haulers that work directly with St. Anthony residents include Walter\'s Rubbish, Inc.

St. Anthony has several parks for you to enjoy. Central Park, located at 3400 Silver Lake Road, is one of the most convenient as it is located at the middle of the community near the high school and community center. Many of the high school\'s sports are played at Central Park, but there are other parks scattered throughout the area including Trillium Park (2800 Highway 88), Emerald Park (3925 Macalaster Driver) and Silver Point Park (3010 29th Avenue NE). Visit any one of these parks for a great afternoon of fun and activities.
