As Rondo’s Central Village Park celebrates 50 years, double dutch helps reactivate St. Paul parkland | MinnPost
An obscure park anniversary took place in St. Paul last weekend when Mizz Mercedez and her crew set up shop in Central Village Park. Bringing out speakers and 12-foot-long ropes, they began what’s become an almost sacred rite for the sidewalks of St. Paul’s Black community: double dutch. After a year of building community, the jump rope craft is seeing a moment on the streets.
