Minneapolis opens new Graco Park along Mississippi River in northeast

I didn't know there was on-going effort to create a continuous parks along the Mississippi. Access to water should be shared with all

Nice! I hadn't heard of RiverFirst (which handled Hall's Island) before, but I like it:
Before Minneapolis was the “city of lakes,” we were a river city.
Now open in 2021, two new RiverFirst projects – Water Works at Mill Ruins Park and the Overlook at 26th Ave N. RiverFirst is a vision for transforming 11 miles of once-industrial Mississippi Riverfront as it flows through the heart of Minneapolis into a welcoming place for all people through improved habitat and miles of new interconnected parks and trails.
- Love to see anything that improves our already great cities. The Mississippi is beautiful and we should have more access to it
