Steward a Park

The Park Stewardship Program offers individuals and volunteer groups the opportunity to restore, maintain, and beautify gardens and natural areas within Minneapolis Parks. By becoming a Park Steward, you’ll take an active role in caring for a specific section of a park, helping it thrive season after season.  

Check the map for stewardship opportunities.

To learn more or to inquire about a Stewardship Agreement, fill out the MPRB Park Stewardship Program Inquiry form or email sbrooks@minneapolisparks.org.
