Xcel Energy Water Power Park offers a unique view of the West Bank of Minneapolis from a peninsula in the Mississippi River. The park has been well repurposed, with many paths leading to viewing areas of the wastewater facility, showcasing impressive engineering. Visitors can enjoy benches and scenic spots to relax and take in the views. Though small, it is considered by many to be a favorite park for its incredible scenery and the feeling of being in the middle of the Mississippi. The park is popular for walking, biking, and fishing, especially in the historic mill district. At night, the city views are especially memorable, making it a great place to experience the city's beauty and enjoy outdoor activities.
