Existing Parks System <br />Regional Parks <br />There are two (2) Regional Parks and two (2) Regional Trails in Ramsey. <br />• Central Anoka County Regional Trail <br />• Mississippi River Regional Trail <br />• Mississippi West Regional Park <br />• Rum River Central Regional Park <br />The City of Ramsey is unique and fortunate in that it has two county parks within its boundaries that <br />are a part of the Metropolitan Council's regional system. Rum River Central Park is 434 acres, 304 <br />acres of which are in the City of Ramsey (the remaining is in the City of Oak Grove) and occupies <br />the northeast corner of the city. <br />Mississippi West Park includes bluffs, wooded areas and two islands on the Mississippi River. The <br />273 acre park includes a small boat landing and shore fishing and in the Fall of 2017, canoe <br />campsites were established on the islands —an amenity that is rare in the Metropolitan area— and <br />one that provides additional recreational access to the most renown river in the nation. The camp <br />sites required close coordination between the City, County and the MN DNR, and are an example <br />of the success of inter -jurisdictional cooperation and planning. <br />In addition the aforementioned county facilities, Ramsey also benefits from the Mn/DOT Wayside <br />Rest between Highway 10 and the Mississippi River in western Ramsey that has visitor contact <br />building with restrooms, canoe access and picnic facilities. This site serves as a trailhead for the <br />Mississippi River Trail that traverses from the Headwaters in Minnesota, through 10 states to New <br />Orleans. <br />Local Parks <br />Other Recreation Opportunities <br />Rum River Hills Golf Course <br />Rum River Scout Camp (Boy Scouts of America) <br />The Links at Northfork Golf Course <br />Wayside Rest (State of Minnesota) <br />Map here <br />City of Ramsey 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update <br />Parks, Recreation, Trails, and Open Space Chapter <br />Page 6 of 30 <br />
