North Minneapolis residents are invited to another opportunity to help set the vision for neighborhood parks in the area.
Since the
summer, staff from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and the
design team have been attending Northside events to listen to community
members and collect their ideas about future park and recreation development.
This is a key part of developing the North Service Area Master Plan (NSAMP): a long-term plan for all neighborhood parks in the area.
January's Design Week is the next step for
NSAMP. Two intensive creative sessions bring together the public, MPRB
staff and designers to collectively develop concepts for Northside parks as
part of a shared learning and creative process. In addition, the design team continues its
work during Design Week and afterward, using public input collected from the sessions and since the launch
of the NSAMP project.
Please
join us on Monday,
Wednesday - or both days - to share your ideas and respond to design concepts.
Session 1: Monday, January 8 from 6pm to 8pm
Farview
Recreation Center, 621 North 29th Avenue
Session 2: Wednesday, January 10 from 5:30pm to 8:00pm
MPRB
Headquarters, 2117 West River Road
- This session serves as a Community Design Open House, where the public can provide additional input and feedback for the design team.
- Children are welcome; light refreshments will be available.
Next steps: community workshops in February!
The initial design concepts produced during and after Design Week will be rolled out to the public at a series of community workshops in February. Feedback on these initial concepts is very important in creating a final, approved plan for each park that represents the needs and desires of the community it serves.
Workshop dates will be announced in early January, so watch for an NSAMP update in your email (sign up here if you don't get them!) or visit the NSAMP project page.

project.
About the North Service Area Master Plan
The North Service
Area Master Plan (NSAMP) will create new, long-term plans for all Minneapolis
neighborhood parks north of I-394 and west of the Mississippi River. NSAMP will
consider how parks are operated, maintained, and improved. It will include plans
for all exterior facilities — athletic fields, playgrounds, trails,
etc. — but not buildings or recreation centers.
For more information about NSAMP, visit the project web page.
