Walkways carve the park into these sections and mimic the alignments of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. An overlook provides a wonderful vista to view the Mississippi.

The majority of the renovation work was completed in 2006 and the park was dedicated in April 2007. The new elements include:
• Overlook plaza and circulation paths using a permeable, low-maintenance and handicapped-accessible surfacing.
• Interpretive nodes at major points of interest along the river paths.
• Shoreline and slope restoration using native plantings and other appropriate methods.
• Prairie plantings in the Prairie portion of the site.
• No Mow Turf in the Metro portion of the site.
• Electrical and water service within the site.
• This summer three benches and a picnic table.

As funding becomes available, amenities such as bike racks, shade structures, a drinking fountain, additional lighting and art elements are planned.
