11. BACKGROUND <br />A. Park History <br />Mississippi West Regional Park was incorporated into the metropolitan regional <br />park system in 1996. Since then, little recreation development has occurred due to <br />a life estate within the park, which ended in 2007. The County has restored 49.9 <br />acres of fallow fields to native prairie habitat and continues to restore the <br />remaining fields as funding allows. In 2008, the County partnered with the City of <br />Ramsey on a storm water outlet project related to the development of the Ramsey <br />Town Center. This project ultimately provided a bituminous trail on top of a storm <br />water outlet to the Mississippi River providing easy access to the river. Outside of <br />this trail and a few fire breaks which serve as natural surface walking trails, there <br />are no other recreational amenities in the park currently. <br />RWM, CMM., TAnua0191urrA <br />REGIONAL <br />parks <br />SYSFFM <br />Mississippi <br />West <br />Regional <br />Park <br />r <br />1 g <br />gyr CAAYFR <br />� ` s <br />d <br />Sc❑TT <br />DARO TA <br />a <br />Page 4 of 22 <br />11 <br />
