Drop in any time 4-6 pm at the open area near the northwest shoreline
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and Minneapolis Sailing Center (MSC) are collaborating on a project to envision the future of the Bde Maka Ska Boat Launch and Sailing Center!
This includes relocating the lake's boat launch and Minneapolis Sailing Center from the current location next to the Bde Maka Ska Pavilion at the northeast shore of Bde Maka Ska to an open area at the northwest shore of the lake. A section of West Bde Maka Ska Parkway would also be rerouted to accommodate the relocated facilities.
Open House Tonight
MPRB and MSC staff are hosting an open house TONIGHT, Monday, Sept. 23, 4-6 pm at the project site (NW Bde Maka Ska). Drop in any time to chat with staff about the project!

Project History
The Bde Maka Ska-Lake Harriet Plan was completed in 2017. Relocating the boat launch and Sailing Center to the lake's northwest shore is included in the plan's recommendations to reduce congestion at the bustling northeast corner of the lake. In 2023, MPRB Commissioners approved a Memorandum of Understanding with the Minneapolis Sailing Center directing this work.
Right now this project is in a "predesign" phase focused on broad concepts for relocating the boat launch and building a new site for the Sailing Center. Currently no funds have been allocated for more detailed design phases or construction.
