Update: Pump house project at North Mississippi Regional Park

Posted on 8 July, 2020

Work is occurring this summer on a new mechanical building and installation of new mechanical equipment for the wading pool at North Mississippi Regional Park. The project is planned to be complete this year, with testing before the pool re-opens for the 2021 season.

It includes:

  • Construction of a new pump house south of the pool
  • Rerouting of supply, discharge and water lines from the north end of the pool to the south end

The project is necessary to resume safe and consistent operations at the pool, which was closed most of the season in 2018 and 2019 due to recurring mechanical and safety hazards. 

Construction contractors are working on behalf of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB).
