Walk trail will merge with bike trail around construction site, bikers must yield to walkers
Construction on a new concessions pavilion area at Bde Maka Ska continued to progress throughout the winter with work on the building interiors.
Starting Monday, April 3, 2023, exterior work will resume with utility connections, stormwater management installation and preparing the site for concrete flatwork. The pedestrian trail around the construction site will temporarily close to safely accommodate some of this work.
All trail traffic will be combined onto the bike trail during the pedestrian trail closure. Bikers must yield to pedestrians in this area.
The new Bde Maka Ska pavilion area is on track to open this summer. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board appreciates the public’s patience while this exciting lakeside gathering space and amenity is built.
About the Bde Maka Ska Pavilion Rebuild Project
The project will create two new buildings, including new, all-gender accessible restrooms and ample outdoor public seating to replace the building that burned down in 2019.
Work will continue throughout the winter and spring and the new buildings are scheduled to open next summer. Please stay away from construction areas and follow all detour signs.
