St. Paul Bans TikTok Creator From City Parks for 180 Days

Liljenquist disputes the allegations, planning an appeal with parks officials.

Overview

  • St. Paul Parks and Recreation issued a 180-day trespass notice barring Josh Liljenquist from all city parks after alleged conduct at Pig’s Eye Park.
  • The city’s letter says he planned an unpermitted event at the park and declined to share details with staff when asked.
  • Officials accuse him of harassing, filming, and profiting from vulnerable adults living in the park without their permission.
  • Liljenquist told WCCO he recorded there once with sheriff’s consent, says he checks for consent, and says he was out of state on the date the city cited.
  • The notice warns that breaking the ban could bring a misdemeanor and gives him a short window to appeal, as advocacy groups split with MICAH backing the ban and Feeding St. Paul praising his impact.
