Blaine-SLP Life, official newspaper of District 16

Spring Lake Park School District 16 encompasses all of the City of Spring Lake Park, half of the City of Blaine, and a portion of the City of Fridley.

The area - undiscovered by some, special to us - is both vibrant and secluded, close to the core of the metropolitan area, but pleasantly away from it as well.

District 16 is proud of its school‑community partnerships in an involved community of 25,000.  Many new housing developments, including The Lakes, Deacon’s Walk/TPC, The Sanctuary, and Pleasure Creek are bringing a new vitality to previously undeveloped areas.  The Northstar Commuter Rail project should become a reality in the near future.

Our school district community is home to the National Sports Center Olympic Training Facilities, USA Cup - the largest youth soccer tournament in the world, 3M PGA Seniors Championship, and the PGA Tournament Players Club (TPC) of the Twin Cities (world-class golf course). 

You’ll also find the Minnesota Medical Enterprise Park, Medtronic, Onan, Unity Hospital, Anoka County Human Services Center, Anoka Ramsey Community College, and Northtown Regional Shopping Center.

In addition, the area boasts having Majestic Oaks, Bunker Hills, and Chomonix Golf Courses, Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts, Bunker Hills Regional Park and Bunker Beach Water Park, Sandhill Crane Nature Area, Wargo Nature Center, and Springbrook Nature Center.
