The city of Shoreview will break ground on a $3.6 million destination outdoor playground this spring the latest in a series of family-friendly attractions on the city s 40-acre campus, which the mayor calls her suburb s alternative to Main Street.
The Ramsey County suburb of 27,000 has spent nearly $24 million in recent years on its Shoreview Commons, including expansions to the community center, indoor water park and indoor playground complex. Outside, the city has added a skate park, formal garden and decorative pond that in winter transforms into an outdoor ice skating rink replete with music and trees outlined in twinkle lights.
