Improvements at 28th Street Totlot were funded by the 20-Year Neighborhood Park Plan, a historic 2016 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.
Every neighborhood deserves a great park.
