New Mississippi River Learning Center designs
The City of Saint Paul and Great River Passage Conservancy, in partnership with Mississippi Park Connection, the National Park Service, and Your Boat Club have released the final design concept for the soon-to-be Mississippi River Learning Center.
|
After receiving extensive feedback from the community and project partners, this center will combine mix-use, river focused space with a National Park Service headquarters at Crosby Farm Regional Park, where people will experience the land, water, and culture of the Mississippi River. This innovative community resource will serve as a national gateway to the Mississippi River with year-round learning and outdoor recreation experiences both on and along Saint Paul’s riverfront.
Watch the presentation of the designs and visit Great River Passage's website to learn more.
