Rock Island, a Lilac Way park

Rock Island Park beckons with an eerie allure, a place where nature's untamed beauty dances with decay. The moat, devoid of water, mirrors a desolate abyss, and the overgrown shrubbery and scattered weeds whisper secrets of forgotten splendor. A foreboding rock bridge leads to the enigmatic heart of a very small island. In its unearthly enchantment, Rock Island Park presents an opportunity for discovery, an invitation to find beauty in the most unexpected corners of existence, for within the ominous, there lies a strangely uplifting charm.

It's a sad shadow of what used to be there

Rare 1939 Lilac Way park, all that remains of original Lilac Park near Minnetonka Blvd. Community interest is growing to preserve it and encourage the City of SLP to request that MnDOT transfer ownership to them for restoration. One of 7 original Lilac Way parks. Lovely.
