Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board launches Diamond Sports Facilities Study
 Project Open House is scheduled March 21, 5-6:30 pm at MPRB Headquarters
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is conducting a Diamond Sports Facilities Study that will assess diamond sports facilities like baseball and softball fields across the Minneapolis park system and develop recommendations to improve them.
The study will consider and recommend standards on a number of factors affecting the quality of experience for people using diamond sports facilities:
- Maintenance standards for each type of facility
- Programming, access and use
- Permits for recreation use
- Distribution of facilities
- Implementation of planned facilities, including timelines and funding opportunities
This is the first study in a plan to assess all athletic facilities in the Minneapolis park system and develop strategies for improving them. Studies on field sports, court sports and winter sports will be completed in order after diamond sports.
March 21 Open House
A project Open House event is scheduled Tuesday, March 21, 2023, 5-6:30 pm at Mary Merrill MPRB Headquarters, 2117 West River Road.
Open House attendees will be able to discuss the study with MPRB staff and fill out an application for the Project Advisory Committee. Use the link below to visit the project page and sign up for email updates.

People with expertise in diamond sports are encouraged to apply to serve on the Project Advisory Committee. The committee will work together and with MPRB staff to create strategies for enhancing diamond activities in the Minneapolis park system.
