North Mississippi Regional Park Trail Reconstruction

Three Rivers Park District owns and operates the portion of North Mississippi Regional Park located in the city of Brooklyn Center from 53rd Avenue N. to the Interstate Hwy. 694 overpass. In 2022, Three Rivers Park District is reconstructing the paved multi-use trail located in this portion of the park. The project involves replacement of approximately 1.3 miles of trail, as well as accessibility improvements to rest areas along the trail and near the fishing pier.

What is open and closed?

• The paved trail will be closed for approximately three months from 53rd Avenue N. north to the Interstate Hwy. 694 overpass. Use provided detour routes.
• The park entrance at 57th Avenue N. is closed during the project.
• The park road is closed to vehicles north of 57th Avenue N. during the project.
• The trail underpass beneath Interstate Hwy. 694 will be closed beginning July 27 for up to three weeks. The public may use the trail underpass on weekends (the trail will be a gravel surface during the closure period).
• Areas of North Mississippi Regional Park owned and operated by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (the portions of the park south of 53rd Avenue N.) will remain open regular hours and are unaffected by this project.

Three Rivers Park District held a virtual open house about the project on February 24, 2022. If you'd like to make written comments about the project, please comment in the space below.
