Projects are moving forward at other North Minneapolis neighborhood parks, too.
Improvements projects at three neighborhood parks in North Minneapolis are moving into their construction phase, after the approval of construction contracts at the June 17 meeting of commissioners for the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB).
Construction at each park is planned to begin in the coming weeks, with completion later in the year, barring delays due to weather, construction or COVID-19.
