New park

in one of my favorite areas.

On Tuesday, Tucker was back on the island as NSP's successor, Xcel Energy, dedicated Water Power Park and opened its gates along historic Main Street for the first time. The 1.4-acre park begins as a walkway that skirts the company's hydroelectric plant and then opens into a wider portion of the northern tip of the island.

It brings visitors close enough to St. Anthony Falls to feel the spray of its water and be humbled by the rumble as the river drops nearly 50 feet across a spillway.

Sounds very nice.
