Marshall Terrace Park on the Northeast Minneapolis riverfront is one of my favorite places in the Minneapolis park system. I could sit on the sandy bank for hours watching the great blue herons build their nests one stick at a time in the giant cottonwood trees of their Mississippi island rookery while kayakers paddle below toward the Lowry Avenue bridge with the city skyline beyond.
