Dakota County is exploring more improvements to Thompson County Park. The county made a first round of improvements following the adoption of the park's long-range plan. This included a lake loop and inclusive playground.
During this second phase, nine different project groups were identified:
- Thompson Park Center expansion
- Pollinator promenade, sensory gardens and partially daylighted stream
- Entry wayfinding improvements
- Accessible paddle launch
- Nature play area
- Simon's Ravine improvements
- Amphitheater
- Emerson Pond picnic area
- Ecosystem exploration loop
