Mississippi Gorge Regional Park Master Plan Update: Final CAC meeting

Thank you to all the community members working together to help develop the Mississippi Gorge Regional Park Master Plan, a project that will create a new long-term plan for all riverfront parkland in Minneapolis between Bridge 9 (Dinkytown Greenway bridge) and Minnehaha Regional Park. 

The final Community Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting is scheduled Monday, Dec. 10, 5:30-8:30 pm at Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board headquarters, 2117 West River Road. Anyone interested in Mississippi Gorge Regional Park is welcome to attend.

At the meeting, the CAC will be asked to make final recommendations on design frameworks for focal areas within Mississippi Gorge Regional Park. If you're unable to attend the meeting, please weigh in online by following the Design Concepts Survey link below.

MPRB staff is aware of community concern regarding the potential of mountain biking in the gorge. This concern will be addressed at the meeting, when natural surface trails and draft frameworks are discussed. Please note that all frameworks currently reflect and support the current use of natural surface trails within the Mississippi Gorge Regional Park, which are pedestrian-only trails.
