Overview
Ramsey County Parks and Recreation made many improvements to Aldrich Arena in 2019. As part of the project, they partnered with RWMWD to remove asphalt from the parking lot and turn those areas into rain gardens. The rain gardens intercept and filter rainwater runoff and increase the quality of runoff that drains into Wakefield Lake.
