Groundbreaking Celebration at Mississippi Gateway

Please join us to celebrate the start of construction on the Mississippi Gateway Regional Park Redevelopment Project!

Mississippi Gateway Regional Park and the Environmental Nature Area in Brooklyn Park are being combined into a new park that will be a year-round connection for all people to celebrate the Mississippi River and the outdoors. New features that will be built include a new Mississippi Gateway Center, a Treetop Trail elevated walkway, nature play areas, learning areas, a new archery range, picnic facilities and an expanded dog off-leash area.

At 4 p.m., join us for a photo of the groundbreaking, then stop by Minne-Scoop-Ta’s ice cream truck and purchase some cool treats for yourself and your family! Mississippi Gateway is open during construction, so feel free to hike the trails, stop in the Visitor Center and check out the views of the Mississippi River from the walkway across Coon Rapids Dam.
