Folwell Park improvements

Help plan new improvements coming to Folwell Park!

This spring, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is gathering feedback from community members on an improvements project underway at Folwell Park.

 

The project includes construction of an all-wheel facility for bikes, scooters, skateboards and in-line skates, along with other improvements. It's the latest in in a range of recent projects that brought new and updated features to the park and recreation center - see below.

Recent improvements at Folwell Park, Recreation Center

Thanks to funding from the 20-Year Neighborhood Park Plan (see below), MPRB has made a number of other improvements at Folwell in the past several years, including: 

  • New playground
  • Tennis courts renovated
  • New lighting for the west athletic field
  • Recreation center updates and replacements: kitchens, craft rooms, restrooms, roof
  • Accessibility improvements for the parking lot, sidewalk leading to the recreation center, and center entry
  • New path connecting the courts and playground

Thanks for your support while we work to improve Minneapolis parks and recreation centers.


Every neighborhood deserves a great park.

Folwell Park's improvements projects include funding from NPP20, a historic agreement between the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and the City of Minneapolis. NPP20 helps address racial and economic equity across 160 neighborhood parks and provides more than $11 million annually to maintain, repair and replace facilities.
