Geocache Description:


How could this park not have a cache? Same beacon as a cache that used to be here.

 

Gold Medal Park is a 7.5-acre (3.0 ha) park in the Downtown East neighborhood of MinneapolisMinnesota, United States. Opened in May 2007, the park was designed by landscape architect Tom Oslund and is owned by the city of Minneapolis. It takes its inspiration from the Native American mounds that are found throughout Minnesota, and its name from Gold Medal flour. It consists of a 32-foot-high (9.8 m) mound, reached by a spiral walkway rising out of a green lawn with 300 trees. The park provides the Mill District neighborhood with some rare green space.[1][2]

Built on a strip of land next to the Mississippi River, the park features specially designed luminescent benches, a prominent 32-foot (9.8 m) mound and mature trees brought in from as far away as New Jersey.

Across the street from the park and adjacent to the river is Remembrance Garden, which is a tribute to the victims of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge collapse. It was dedicated on August 1, 2011, the fourth anniversary of the collapse.[5]
