The hike up and down the stairway is approximately one mile, round trip. A shuttle will be available for participants who wish to ride back up to the top of the stairs.  The  Mayor Roger Reinert, City of Duluth staff, and community partners will celebrate the completion of the long-term projects and highlight the features of the newly-renovated park for attendees.
