At their September 28 meeting, commissioners for the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) approved a construction contract for the project to make over several areas of Bryn Mawr Meadows Park.
The project brings a host of major improvements to the park, including:
- two new water quality ponds, with a new entry drive constructed between them
- two new parking lots
- several new trails and sidewalks
- stormwater filtration gardens
- two premiere lighted ballfields
- broomball meadow
- new water service
- new play area
- new picnic areas
Due to budget limitations, some features of the project's approved concept plan will not be constructed at this time: the fitness node, basketball court, pond overlook and batting cage.
Excluding these features allows for construction to move forward on the vast majority of the project's planned improvements. It also avoids a construction re-bidding process, which would likely result in even fewer improvements constructed at greater cost.
Next Steps
Week of October 17: The City of Minneapolis begins installation of a new water service line Their work may impact traffic along Morgan Avenue South.
Early November 2022 to late January 2023: Construction planned to begin with erosion control, earth moving and demolition, and continued work as weather allows.
April 2023 to July/late September 2023: Construction resumes; substantial completion planned for July 2023, with the play area complete by end of September.
Public Impacts
During construction, some park areas will be closed and others will remain open for use; please help keep everyone safe by staying out of construction areas.
