Walking north from downtown and up Cedar Street, it doesn't take long to get to Cass Gilbert Park. With a nice overlook of downtown, it was named in honor of the architect who not only designed the State Capitol one block over, but also some of our most solid looking buildings in downtown like the Gilbert on Wacouta and the Endicott on East 4th. I like wandering around the grounds of the Capitol Mall. The evening walk last night was relatively quiet. Several skateboarders around the police memorial did a quick exit when they heard a nearby siren and a red "Party Hawg" bus allowed a quick stopover for party quests in formal attire to get out and take photos on the Capitol steps. The Minnesota Historical Society website has a nice online walking tour of the Mall so you can read about the area and the memorials before you go.
