II. 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 /> Mississippi <br /> REGIONAL <br /> West = - . <br /> parks <br /> Regional ;~ <br /> Park - Ar KAP <br /> -77 <br /> T <br /> ZF <br /> _ b <br /> DAKOTA <br /> 40 <br /> Page 4 of 22 <br />
