Welcome to the City of Coon Rapids, MN

 

Coon Rapids is an exciting community and the metropolitan area's gateway to the northern part of the state. For all our residents, we offer a unique combination of urban excitement and small town friendliness with many opportunities to work and play together.

The City also has a strong interest in developing and preserving the amenities that make suburban living a pleasure. There is a wide range of housing options, making Coon Rapids attractive to everyone regardless of age or income. We have an interesting variety of restaurants, shopping areas, plus a broad range of churches and service clubs.

Recreational activities abound in Coon Rapids with many neighborhood and regional parks, municipal golf course, indoor and outdoor ice rinks, softball and baseball fields, tennis and basketball courts, hiking and biking trails, skateboard parks, and fishing and boating opportunities for everyone to enjoy.

Change abounds in our city. As a fully developed city, the current focus is on redevelopment and enhancement. This is evident with changes in land use from commercial to residential in sections of the city, upgraded roadways, a revitalized park system, decorative lighting, landscaping and flower beds. The city is thriving, and this is reflected in the amenities that enhance our quality of life.

Best regards,

Coon Rapids City Council
