Located on both banks of the Mississippi River between Plymouth Avenue North & the 35W bridges, Central Mississippi Riverfront Regional Park is one of the top ten tourist attractions in Minnesota. It is actually made up of 11 parks and parkways that stretch from Boom Island Park (where Above the Falls Regional Park ends) to the Stone Arch Bridge. Take a self-guided Tour of the Public Art through this park system. This would be an ideal tour to do by bicycle as it would be a little far to walk and parking is not always easy to find along these stops. Stops 2 through 6 on the linked tour are in or near this regional park and we’ve included a stop at First Bridge Park, which isn’t on the self-guided tour, but is recommended by MPRB. Many of the creators are active area artists that you can learn more about and maybe plan to visit their galleries at another time. This park is connected through bike trails and is one of Anne’s family’s favorite Minneapolis Bike Trails. It connects to the bike trails at Above The Falls Regional Park and is part of U.S. Bicycle Route 45.Central Mississippi Riverfront Parks
