Boom Island

Boom Island Park provides a leisurely atmosphere for the entire family. Recreational amenities include a boat launch and marina, promenades, a totlot playground, picnic areas and three reservable picnic shelters. The park provides a picturesque site for weddings and serves as the departure point for public and private cruises along the scenic Mississippi River aboard the Minneapolis Queen. Located just across the Plymouth Avenue Bridge from the James I. Rice and West River Parkways, Boom Island is adjacent to the B.F. Nelson Park site, and is connected to Nicollet Island Park via a pedestrian bridge.
