There is a vision that Saint Paul can be both more natural...
...and more urban.

National Great River Park

The National Great River Park represents the next phase of our riverfront’s rebirth, captured in the idea, The City in a Park, A Park in the City.  It is the integration of the Mississippi River valley’s unique natural systems and recreational resources with community and economic development in the adjacent neighborhoods.

Recognizing Saint Paul’s Mississippi River valley as a regional asset of national significance, the guiding principles of this document – to be More Natural, More Urban and More Connected – and their attendant goals and objectives, will help guide our collective work throughout the river corridor in the next phase of Saint Paul’s riverfront rebirth.
