Weigh in on neighborhood park plans for North Minneapolis
Posted on 12 September, 2018
Long-term plans for each park are ready for review and comment
A key milestone has arrived in the long-term planning effort for every neighborhood park in North Minneapolis, known as the North Service Area Master Plan (NSAMP).
After 18 months of community-based planning and design, a draft version of NSAMP is ready for public review and comment. NSAMP reflects community desires for all outdoor facilities in more than 30 North Minneapolis neighborhood parks and regional trails, and it will guide capital improvements over the next 20 to 30 years at these locations. The public comment runs through October 27, 2018. Get details below on how to share your thoughts.

About the North Service Area Master Plan
The North Service Area Master Plan (NSAMP) will create new, long-term plans for all Minneapolis neighborhood parks north of I-394 and west of the Mississippi River. NSAMP will consider how parks are operated, maintained, and improved. It will include plans for all exterior facilities — athletic fields, playgrounds, trails, etc. — but not buildings or recreation centers. For more information, visit the project web page.
