Lake Hiawatha Park planning and groundwater/stormwater pumping update

The City of Minneapolis, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board are convening a public meeting to prepare for an in-depth park planning study related to the groundwater pumping and alternatives investigation for Lake Hiawatha.

At this meeting we’ll look at broad layout diagrams which generally illustrate the spaces created by the varying levels of groundwater pumping and how these layouts may affect certain uses within the park in the future. The majority of this meeting will focus on developing ideas for potential uses within the park. Meeting attendees will be split into random groups to develop their own ideas, and give a two-minute presentation so other groups can hear the ideas. This is an exercise to flesh out opportunities that may not already be realized

This work is closely related to potential impacts to nearby homes, as well as impacts that are more remote from the park but could be impacted by changes.

Please attend and let us know how you’d like recreate in your park!

Note: Parking is limited. Please consider walking or biking to the meeting if possible.
