When: 4pm-6pm
The 5pm ribbon cutting will include remarks from MPRB Superintendent Al Bangoura and MPRB Commissioners. It takes place in conjunction with Cycling 101, part of MPRB’s Cycle the Summerbike event series, from 4-6pm. Cycling 101 features:
- A youth-focused bike rodeo hosted by Minneapolis Park Police

See you at Perkins Hill Park!

Help take care of the track:
- Enter only at the concrete area with a “trailhead” sign.
- Do not walk or ride on the slopes around the track, where native plant seeds and seedlings are growing. When established, these plants will prevent erosion, and help keep the track in good shape.
