Connections at Shingle Creek

Connections at Shingle Creek creates a new link between the cities of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park. The City of Brooklyn Park filled in a missing trail gap between Brooklyn Boulevard and Brookdale Park/Shingle Creek Regional Trail. The Commission worked with the two cities to stabilize and restore the streambanks, enhance habitat, and add an outdoor classroom adjacent to Park Center High School.
