Our Story
Hidden behind the Route 94 freeway wall, this regional park will captivate those lucky enough to stumble upon it. The park offers spectacular views of the Mississippi River and the surrounding woods and prairie. Here you will find abundant wildlife in action: hawks, eagles and great blue heron soaring overhead, woodchucks and deer browsing forage, a beaver family felling trees for their riverbank lodge and migratory songbirds traveling the river flyway. In summer, the prairie flowers provide ever-changing color.
Walking trails meander through the prairie and along the shores of the river. Bike trails traverse the park and connect with Webber parkway and commuter routes into downtown Minneapolis. There is a fishing pier in the extreme northern segment of the park. Further south, there is a play area featuring a wading pool, a state-of-the-art playground, and picnic tables, grills and shelters. A fishing pier and boat launch area are located in the southern part of the park.
