Summer is right around the corner!  If you hear music, laughter, and see young people hanging around with smiles on their faces, a POP-UP PARK may has arrived in your neighborhood.

Youth of all ages are encouraged, invited, and sought after to join in the fun of activities or just hang out with friends at POP-UP PARKS throughout the City!

Beginning in June, POP-UP PARK will pop-up in designated neighborhoods five days a week, typically from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The POP-UP PARK will be out in neighborhoods  for twelve weeks of summer.

Music, sports, games, crafts and excitement fill the tent offering teens safe and engaging activities during long summer days. Fun, caring, energetic and positive adult staff make sure youth are welcomed and connected to all that is available for them in their neighborhood and at nearby recreation centers.

This tent is a partnership between the MPRB and the City of Minneapolis’ Blueprint for Youth Violence Prevention, an initiative of the Minneapolis Office of Violence Prevention.

Pop-Up Park is part of a violence prevention effort to connect youth to community resources and engage them in fun and safe activities. The Pop-Up Park will pop-up in neighborhoods five days a week typically from 4-8 pm, or during designated times for festivals and events. The Pop-Up Park will be available for twelve weeks of summer.

Youth of all ages are encouraged to join in the fun of activities or just hang out with friends.
