Trail work is happening at Thompson Park with an existing trail being widened and paved to connect to the River-to-River Greenway. It adds approximately 735 feet of accessible trails to Thompson Park.
Where: The existing trail was a dirt trail heading south from Dakota Lodge. It’s been widened and graded for paving, then extended straight south to connect with the River-to-River Greenway trail (previously the dirt trail curved to the southwest before connecting to the Greenway).
Plan: Paving this trail was included in the 2020 Thompson Park Master Plan, noted on the 10-year map.
- Recent improvements to Thompson Park include the 2019 wetland restoration and the 2021 improvement project, which included the new playground.
- Dakota County did just receive $2 million from the state for planning for future improvements.
Here’s a look at the 10-year proposed improvements in the Master Plan:
