Ramsey Park to have trails upgraded

Tuesday, September 06, 2016

There are three-and-a-half miles of bituminous trails winding through Ramsey Park. The paved trails, which were established in the park some time in the early-to-mid-80s, have been deemed an asset to the park and the community, as they are utilized by park visitors for everything from exercise to nature exploration.

So, when the Redwood Falls park commission and the city’s parks and recreation department developed a park master plan, upgrading the trails was a top priority.

As a regionally designated site through the Greater Minnesota Parks and Trails Commission, Ramsey Park has access to funding through the legacy fund through competitive grants, and recently the city was informed it was the recipient of a grant of more than $914,000 to upgrade the trails and make other improvements to the park, such as remodeling the restroom facility at the falls shelter.
