(KNSI) – Two local parks are up for consideration to be designated as regionally significant parks by the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission. The commission helps channel funds to designated regional parks and trails to improve infrastructure and build new facilities where needed. More than $52 million in grant funding has been issued through the GMRPTC. Several parks and trails in the St. Cloud area have been designated as regionally significant, like Quarry Park, Beaver Island Trail and Rockville Park. However, two more parks in East Central Minnesota are up for potential designation: Springvale Park in Isanti County and River Bluffs Park in Stearns County.
