About the project
The North Commons Park-Phase 1 Improvements project is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rebuild and transform the park's facilities into a Northside hub for arts, recreation, athletics and a host of other community activities.
The new community center, water park and renovated playground are key elements of the master plan for North Commons Park, approved in 2019 as part of the North Service Area Master Plan covering all neighborhood parks in North Minneapolis.
Planned improvements include:
- Demolition of the current recreation center and construction of a community center to serve various Northside needs, including expanded gym space; community rooms; arts and media spaces; and youth oriented gathering spaces
- Reconfigured parking in a new location to improve efficiency, access and safety
- Relocation and reconstruction of the water park, last renovated in 1997, east of its current location
- Renovation of the playground in its current location

Every neighborhood deserves a great park.
This project includes funding from NPP20: a long-term initiative that helps address racial and economic equity across 160 neighborhood parks and provides more than $11 million annually to maintain, repair and replace park facilities.
