Background

The City of Minneapolis' demographics are changing rapidly, and it is more important than ever to ensure that we are meeting the needs of its diverse stakeholders. RecQuest will:

  • Engage our staff and the community in a collaborative process to inform how we can best serve current and projected park and recreation needs of communities through recreation center programs and facilities
  • Assess community recreation needs for recreation center programming and facilities
  • Provide a vision for the next generation of recreation center programs and facilities
  • Compile, create, analyze, and illustrate city-wide recreation center facility (size, amenities, etc.), use, and program data
  • Outline guiding principles for management and operations of recreation center facilities and programs
  • Articulate a 25-30 year investment strategy for recreation centers and programs
