About the Great River Park Master Plan: 

 

For the past 12 months, the City of Saint Paul has been working with residents and a national design team to create a master plan for Saint Paul's 17-mile Mississippi River valley. Led by Saint Paul Parks and Recreation and guided by the community, this Great River Park master plan is now complete.

 

The new master plan will guide redevelopment of more than 3,000 acres of river parkland over the next two decades and calls for an integrated system of parks and trails, featuring restored habitat, riverfront parks and activity centers, new life for industrial sites, better trail connections, more river access, and river-based recreation for all.
