The Kitchen Table <br />The Kitchen Table is an example of a private business serving <br />as a three-way hub of collaboration. One successful incidence <br />is the reoccurring Wine and Canvas classes held in their <br />community room. Ramsey Parks and Recreation promotes <br />the classes, Rumriver Arts supplies the supplies and artist, <br />with the restaurant providing participants the beverage and <br />snacks of their choice —all of this covered by the class enrollee's <br />registration fee of $35 dollars. <br />National Park Service & the Non-profit Mississippi Park <br />Connection <br />One of the more unique National Parks' in America celebrates <br />Ramsey as its upstream beginning, with Hastings Minnesota <br />to the South. The 72-mile long Mississippi National River <br />and Recreation Area (MNRRA), includes a nonprofit partner, <br />Mississippi Park Connection and together are developing <br />programming with the city with significant opportunity for <br />expanding. Canoe RAVEs (RIVER ACTION VOLUNTEER EVENTS) <br />have been popular throughout the Twin Cities Metro, including <br />Ramsey —with volunteers turned away after the maximum <br />participation at the last event. That RAVE had 50 volunteers <br />working on needed maintenance in Mississippi West Regional <br />Park, and learning canoe skills at the same time to reach the <br />two islands for that activity. <br />Northstar Commuter Rail & Metropolitan Transit <br />Ramsey residents ride the Northstar train to work, to the <br />airport and also recreation and leisure pursuits like traveling <br />to athletic games and events like the Holidazzel Parade in the <br />cities. Occasionally individuals and groups ride the train to a <br />destination and pedal back on the Mississippi River Trail. Many <br />other recreational partnerships with Metro Transit exist to be <br />explored —including pairing the Northstar and new riders to <br />participate in 'Bike to Work Week' and others. <br />PACT Charter School <br />One of the first entities to invest in Ramsey's new downtown <br />was PACT School in 2005, which included the agreement by the <br />city to build and maintain the multi -use athletic field that the <br />school uses as its home field. <br />The 7-12 grade school also uses the park as part of their phyi-ed <br />curriculum, even in the Winter. The agreement calls for modest <br />maintenance payment to the City by PACT, and the park is <br />utilized by other youth athletic organizations and the public — <br />with all benefiting from the park known as The Draw. <br />STATE OF <br />PROGRAMS <br />xxxxxxxxxxx <br />xxxxxxxxxxx <br />xxxxxxxxxxx <br />xxxxxxxxxxx <br />CITY OF RAMSEY PARK SYSTEM PLAN 151 <br />
