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 /> Concept Plan from 1996 <br /> 1'raposed - <br /> ftd�, !� Ramsey Blvd. <br /> Cm cu. <br /> Pel Area Min todusuinl- <br /> ream aonlacon -rc.:a( <br /> Conner[ion Bikes' �'1 Ik:,tnp,nvni <br /> NFafive Oak-Savanna <br /> Re ion <br /> Family Picnic Trail Frontage <br /> Picni Head Read <br /> l]cvi9apmm <br /> Mississippi River ,��, ttstt r <br /> €slantl <br /> (:enter (Uacr ) Proposed Pond <br /> Preserve <br /> Group Plcalc Read tinl <br /> 0 Park Use Area Small ncnetopmcM <br /> aFishing Access Boal Trail <br /> � <br /> First Phase Park Road <br /> Access Connecti <br /> Second Phase Park Road <br /> 13 <br /> i.aogo(t Blend <br /> Visitor Canlacl$talion (70-) <br /> Major Park Trail <br /> ® River Stops <br /> \IL/iiQRTH o 1000 2(w0reel <br /> CONCEPT PLAN <br /> Planning-Pr-oposal for: <br /> Mississippi West Regional Park <br /> Anoka CoL(ntry Department of Parks and Recreation <br /> Prepared hy- <br /> Hcnuni%and Assaciatea,Inc.
