GREAT RIVER OUTING
GEMS ALONG THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER TRAIL
NOVEMBER 13
When: Sunday, November 13, 2011
Time: 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.
Begin: Marshall Terrace Park,
2740 Marshall Street NE, Minneapolis 55418
Join a walk with park historian David
Smith, Commissioner Liz Wielinski,
and Marshall Terrace resident and
AFCAC co-facilitator Mary Jamin
Maguire to visit three gems on
the Mississippi Riverfront:
Marshall Terrace, Edgewater, and
Gluek parks.
We will follow Marshall Street NE,
formerly the Red River Oxcart Trail,
and now the multi-state Mississippi
River Trail. On the route are the
Lowry Bridge and the Mississippi
Watershed Management
Organization headquarters - both
currently under construction.
As we visit each park, we will
discuss their individual histories and show how these gems relate to the Above
the Falls and RiverFIRST plans, strategies to complete a continuous riverfront
park with walking and biking trails.
Afterwards, visit the Sample Room for conversation and treats (on your own).
