A public hearing on the concept plan for improvements at Jordan Park in North Minneapolis will be held on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, at 6:30 pm. The hearing allows individuals to comment on the concept plan by speaking to the Board of Commissioners or submitting written comments; see details on these options below.
The concept plan includes replacing the park's existing pool and its mechanical building, and adding restrooms and a range of pool amenities, as shown in image above and available on the project website. It is based on Jordan Park's master plan, approved in 2019 as part of the North Service Area Master Plan for all neighborhood parks in North Minneapolis.
Next steps for the project
Board approval: Following the public hearing, the Board of Commissioners will consider approving the concept plan.
Final design, construction bids: With Board approval, project staff will develop a final design for the project and receive bids from construction contractors.
Construction: With a successful bid, construction of the project is planned for 2022.
