该设计被称为“水作品”，之所以这样命名是因为在19世纪它是这座城市的供水站和消防抽水站，项目设计者为了将各处历史遗迹、当地生态遗迹休闲系统“编织”在一起从而在四英亩的中心码头形成一个“连贯的公共空间”。

SCAPE 景观建筑公司解释道：“设计形成了一系列灵活的景观‘屋’以及观景平台，将自行车道和人行道连接在了一起，中心广场的形状是对历史悠久的门楼和运河的致敬。”方案与景观以及游客亭旨在“给明尼苏达人提供机会，让他们可以看到、听到、触摸和拥有这个市中心码头。”

项目被设计成分两期完成，设计团队希望到2016年开工建设亭子和夹层，之后在进行运河和门楼的建造。项目地址位于波特兰南方大道和第三大道桥之间以及第一街道和密西西比河多码头的汇合处之间。

SCAPE / Landscape Architecture and Rogers Partners have envisioned a new public gateway for the Mississippi River’s “one true waterfall” – St. Anthony Falls in downtown Minneapolis. Named after being the city’s original site for its 19th-century water supply and fire-fighting pumping stations, “Water Works” is designed to “weave” together heritage ruins, local ecology, and recreational systems into a “coherent civic space” on four-acres of Central Riverfront.

The design “forms a series of flexible landscape ‘rooms’ and viewing terraces, links bike and pedestrian ways, and celebrates the historic gatehouse and canal in the form of a central interpretive plaza,” explained SCAPE. Together with the landscape and visitor’s pavilion, the scheme aims to “unlock access and opportunity for Minnesotans to see, hear, touch and own the downtown waterfront.”

Designed to be completed in two phases, the design team hopes to break ground on the pavilion and mezzanine by 2016, followed by the canal and gatehouse. The site is located between Portland Avenue South and the Third Avenue Bridge, and between First Street and the Mississippi River at the convergence of multiple riverfront destinations.

“The Water Works site is where Minneapolis became the city it is today and has long been a point of convergence: between water and land, industry and recreation, and of cultures from across the world. St. Anthony Falls has attracted and captivated people – first Native Americans, and later, settlers who harnessed the power of the falls through a massive intake canal then unheard-of in size, turned Minneapolis into the world’s milling capital, and spawned timeless global brands like Pillsbury and General Mills,” said Tom Evers, Executive Director of the Parks Foundation.

“With great talent and skill, and through a deeply collaborative community-based process, SCAPE and Rogers Partners have created a schematic vision for a four-season park on St. Anthony Falls that meets the needs of 21st-century residents and visitors, while celebrating and reactivating the most compelling features of the site.”
