Clue 2 has me off Swede Hollow now. It is very clearly a military reference of some sort and I don't see that at Swede. "If you want to belong" makes me think it might be a VFW reference as that is something a person can belong to. The "beast" that is returning could be a White Bear which has a VFW and is on Highway 61.

I'm gonna stick with 10 Swede Hollow until I get a better idea   I think Clue 3 is just saying the new puck is a different shape   But a geometric shape in a park sounds plausible   Edgy could be reference to a Edgerton street

I will go check shoreview commons today. It's an edgy park being that it's newer and different very cool. It's over arden hills and down the street from arden hills armory. Off streets dale, mound and Victoria.  Seek not geometry of lore gives me new park vibes and also takes me away from Euclid street and battle creek area.  I'm wondering if we are to stop looking for shapes and focus on numbers. In and out hear them shout (calling out numbers). Score has sooooo many different meanings. One of which is the number 20.

I'm sure I'll have a completely new park tomorrow to fit the clues. Ha! Stay warm out there today.

Veterans Park in Roseville is right next to the VFW, and very close to the very popular "The OVAL" skating area. There is an inside arena and an outside oval skating area.  (In and out hear them shout). And the park is on WoodHILL Dr. with the Cross Stree ChurcHILL St.  Just a few blocks over from Dale St.  An oval is a different shape than what is used in Geometry. 
It is a nice park with a ball field, concession area, sand volleyball, and a large play area. I used to take my kids there. 

Its not a circle - I like the word "Stop" here.  I'm going to say its an octagon.

Sounds like the shape coin, disc, is different than the past? Edgy and score.... Edge of Hockey Rink where you score?? Or edge of Ramsey County?

Here is the new clue for the Golden Beer Can Hunt (#6)   Clue #6
Old McDonald, he had no farm, but a fool thinks he had no charm.
It’s alright, this is it, no harm if you were to keep forgetting.
It was the best that you can do, playing together with your crew,
It even keeps you running too, towards the treasure we’re betting.   And the previous clues:

The minneapolis armory has had quite a resurgence and hosts music events now.  It's not in ramsey but the architect was big in saint paul and served in ww2. Probably going down a rabit hole if I start googling all his other buildings.  

The Armory was the most expensive building in Minnesota at one time. The building was designed by St.Paul architect P.C. Bettenburg, who was also a major in the Minnesota National Guard. From the late 1930s through the 1970s, it was a venue for civic events, including concerts, political conventions and sporting events.

One thing I noticed from the article you shared, David, is that "Sousa's name also endures in Minnesota thanks to the John Philip Sousa Memorial Band, based in Edina. Formed in 1970 by a group of graduating seniors from Edina High School, it plays not only Sousa works but a variety of ragtime, novelty and "crowd-pleasing stuff," said its founder, Scott Crosbie."

That's a stretch to be at Crosby, but I have seen worse. Lol

There is a metal soldier on his knee with a gun outside the Roseville VFW.

Oh, there is an American Legion near Central Park just off of Dale. Seems odd though to actually mention the name of a street in Clue 2.

My search says there is a VFW in Roseville, one in North St. Paul, and one in White Bear Lake.
