A new round of community engagement will follow.
Since the summer, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) staff and the FIHÀN Design+Architecture team have been developing initial concept plans for the project to transform North Commons Park facilities into a Northside hub for arts, recreation, athletics and a host of community activities.
The plans are guided by a broad range of community engagement activities that took place last spring and summer and in 2021 (see more below), as well as the master plan and guiding principles for North Commons Park.
As design work on the concept plans continues through December, MPRB invites everyone in the North Commons/Northside community to a “first look” gathering right after the new year .
Save the date: January 10, 6 to 8pm
North Commons Community Center gym
This community meeting is the first of many opportunities for people to review the concept plans, hear from MPRB staff and the design team, and share their feedback.
It kicks off a fresh round of community engagement this winter with people who live, work and play in North Minneapolis. Additional community engagement will take place online as well as at public meetings, informal open houses, and other community events and in-person gatherings.
Can’t make it? Information on additional opportunities to get involved will be shared once they’re confirmed.
