Located on the Mississippi River, Raspberry Island Regional Park provides stunning views of downtown Saint Paul. A renovation in 2008 made the island even more beautiful with the replacement of a rip-rap revetment to protect the riverbank and the addition of several landscaping features, including a walking path, access points to the river, planting beds, benches, lighting, and parking lot improvements. Restroom facilities were also added to the Minnesota Boat Club building. The commitment to maintaining the esthetics of Raspberry Island Regional Park earned it a prestigious award in the Public Landscape Design Category in 2009.
