Watch the video profile of Raspberry Island

Raspberry Island was renovated in 2008. It included replacement of a rip-rap revetment to protect the riverbank, landscaping that included a walking path, access to the river, planting beds, benches, lighting, parking lot improvements and restroom facilities, which were added to the Minnesota Boat Club building.

Raspberry Island Regional Park received an award in the Public Landscape Design Category. The "City of Saint Paul Parks & Recreation Vision Plan" was also recognized in the Planning and Research Category.
