The Hennepin County Park Reserve District was established in 1957 [Laws 1957 c160 s20]. It was unofficially known as Hennepin Parks. In 1985, it was renamed the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District and in 2005, became the Three Rivers Park District. The district is a natural resources-based park system located in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area that manages more than 27,000 acres of park reserves, regional parks, regional trails and special-use facilities. It offers facilities for every season, including: picnicking, swimming, creative play, boating, fishing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, golf, camping and sledding; extensive trails for hiking, biking, in-line skating, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, as well as program sites for nature, recreation, historic, and farm education.
