I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />Mississippi West Regional Park is a 273 acre park located within the City of Ramsey <br />between the Mississippi River and Trunk Highway 10. The park has 1-1/2 miles of shoreline <br />along the Mississippi River and offers a unique setting to provide recreational and <br />educational opportunities in the area. It is part of the Mississippi River Critical Corridor <br />Area and the Mississippi National River Recreation Area. <br />In 1996, a concept master plan was approved by the Metropolitan Council and the park was <br />incorporated into the metropolitan regional park system. Since then it has been updated <br />with the Anoka County 20/20 Parks and Recreation Vision Plan and then again in 2006, <br />when Anoka County adopted a new Parks and Recreation Comprehensive System Plan. <br />Input for the system plan was obtained through a variety of stakeholders, including a 20 <br />member citizen advisory group and all local units of government in Anoka County. The <br />system plan addresses current and future system needs, including an updated concept plan <br />for Mississippi West Regional Park. <br />This master plan was developed based on the conceptual plan from 1996, the history of <br />the land, the existing conditions, nature resources in the area, sustainability, demand for <br />additional recreational and educational facilities and accessibility. <br />'Frail <br />Connection <br />Concept Plan from 1996 <br />l'r posed <br />Bridge <br />Carndar <br />Pel Area <br />monnlain <br />Bikes' �'1- <br />I 4. <br />firim..-,va <br />Fatn.ily Picnic • a <br />NO <br />0 li <br />fite, <br />Group Picnic <br />a�rx) ;�.
