Construction projects

Construction projects at Three Rivers are coordinated by the Department of Design. Based on the long-range plan created by the Department of Planning, the Design team takes a project from design through construction, working with many in the development process. Department staff collaborate with the public, contractors, landscape architects, architects, engineers, Metropolitan Council, counties, cities, and other public and private agencies to ensure successful project completion.

The goal of the Department of Design is to provide the highest quality services while supporting the Park District mission of promoting environmental stewardship in a natural resources-based park system.
