Regional Park System 2030 and Beyond

There are plans to expand our current regional park system to nearly 70,000 acres including seven new regional parks. Our trail system will quadruple-- from 231 miles of trails open to the public today to 877 miles by 2030.  Miles of new greenways corridors will provide natural linkages between regional parks in Scott, Dakota, and western Hennepin County. Carver County will have two new regional parks.   Anoka County will have a regional park in its northwestern corner, a park that has been planned since the inception of the regional park system in 1974.  These new parks and trail connections will allow area residents to have a variety of new park experiences, close to home.
