Now open in 2021, two new RiverFirst projects – Water Works at Mill Ruins Park and the Overlook at 26th Ave N. RiverFirst is a vision for transforming 11 miles of once-industrial Mississippi Riverfront as it flows through the heart of Minneapolis into a welcoming place for all people through improved habitat and miles of new interconnected parks and trails.
RiverFirst signature projects provide unique opportunities for connecting with the Mississippi River and each other, through restored habitat, walking and biking trails, historical interpretation, artistic performance, and civic engagement.
