Walking Tour Photos: Bass Pond /Future Dog Park

This photo was taken through a clearing from parking lot looking out over a marsh near Long Meadow Lake. The marsh treats and handles much of the storm water from Mall of America and the South Loop.  Much of the land was modified long ago due to gravel related industrial activity.

City owned property south of intersection at Old Shakopee Rd and 24th. This is the site for a potential site for dog park and trailhead. It is very visible from Mall and has the potential to become part of the South Loop-to-River Valley experience as well as an amenity for neighbors.  Could be a primary interface for visitors coming from Minneapolis (and beyond).

This wall is an 18'x120' wall facing refuge trail near trailhead at the Cypress Semiconductor. The wall has great potential for installation or mural.
