Greater MN Regional Parks and Trails Coalition Strategic Planning Process
The Greater MN SystemThe 25 year plan states the following:•The Greater Minnesota system plays a major role in providing park experiences in Minnesota.
•Build an interconnected system with parks, trails, lakes, rivers and natural areas that are accessible to all Minnesotans.
•Distribute Legacy funds in a manner that will be viewed by the citizens of Minnesota as reasonable.
•Over time, achieve at least a reasonable degree of equity of funding among parks and trails of state and regional significance.

Starting Point for Potential Regional Parks/Trails
• 2005 LCMR Report and U of M Inventory Report (2011)
• Raw numbers – LCMR suggests around 115 parks have potential; U of M around 130; other opinions vary
• Bottom line – have to build the system from the ground up using well-vetted protocol and criteria to determine which parks and trails are truly regionally-significant and of high public value
