About the Bde Maka Ska Pavilion Rebuild Project
The project will create two new buildings, including new, all-gender accessible restrooms and ample outdoor public seating to replace the building that burned down in 2019.
The Minneapolis Sailing Center and Wheel Fun Rentals are operating at northeast Bde Maka Ska this season.
Work will continue throughout the year and the new buildings are scheduled to open next summer. Please stay away from construction areas and follow all detour signs.
