Boom Island Park

Very peaceful place beautiful sight you can see downtown the nature and it just made me feel so good when I came back a couple of weeks ago I live here now and I'll always walk down through boom Island

Nice park! Great place for photos! You can avoid paying for parking by not parking in the park. One of the best boat launches on the river! They also have water taxi's available that will take you on a nice river cruise.

Very delicious pizza, they had beer and wine. Stone oven, gift shop, you can feed the goats , play soccer. Very nice venue, i think they were celebrating a graduation later that day

Upriver from Nicollet Island, this is a roughly 22 acre park with nice riverside seating, canoe and bike rentals, walking/bike paths, play area, picnic area, grill and restroom. A small truss bridge, once used for railroads, now for pedestrians, connects Boom Island to the north side of Nicollet Island.

This is no longer an island since the back channel has been filled in, much like Harriet Island. It gets its name from the booms used to direct logs flowing downstream to their respective owner's sawmills, in the days before the flour milling heyday.

Terrific variety of views of the Minneapolis skyline, this would be a great place for sunset photography.

Beautiful and clean park. The downtown view is a plus. They do have the lighthouse but was much smaller than it appears to be. However still a great place to go. The kids enjoyed running around and playing at this park and the stroll over the river on the bridge. You do have to pay hourly parking but it's 1 dollar an hour. They use that money to maintain and keep clean.
