About Boom Island Park

Boom Island Park is a 22.5-acre public city park on the banks of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Managed by the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board as part of the Central Mississippi Riverfront Regional Park, it’s a flexible outdoor venue perfect for gatherings, festivals, family reunions, and community events. The park features reservable Shelter A, Shelter B, and Shelter C (each with a 45-person capacity) and the Beard’s Plaisance Main Shelter (capacity 80). The nearby River Hub at Graco Park opened in 2024, expanding riverfront recreation options, while the Boom Island Marina is undergoing construction through 2026, with related trail work. Whether you’re planning a casual gathering or a larger event, Boom Island Park provides a scenic urban backdrop with easy access and practical amenities.

Parking is available in a designated pay parking lot at the park, with Parkopedia listing 135 spots at the Boom Island Lot. The park is accessible by multiple modes of transportation—bus, bike, drive, or walk—making it convenient for attendees from across the city. Surrounding neighborhood amenities include a range of hotels and dining options, making Boom Island Park a strong base for events and weekend activities.

Nearby hotels offer convenient stays for event organizers, performers, and attendees. Affiliate partners include Hewing Hotel, TownePlace Suites Minneapolis Downtown/North Loop, AC Hotel Minneapolis Downtown, Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot, and Nicollet Island Inn, all within a short drive or ride.
