Northside community members have contributed an amazing range of ideas and input on local neighborhood parks over the past eight months. Staff from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) have been using this information and working with a design team to develop initial concepts for every Minneapolis neighborhood park north of I-394 and west of the Mississippi River. This process is a key part of creating an overall long-term plan known as the North Service Area Master Plan (NSAMP).

 

Now people are viewing and commenting on the park design concepts at a series of public workshops. Two were held the week of February 26; two more take place on March 6 and 8. 


Each park design concept includes options and locations for a range of amenities and activities; most parks have multiple design concepts.

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, visit the project web page.
