The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has postponed the Parks for All Virtual Park Summit. We hope you are safe, with your loved ones, and able to show up for community in whatever way feels right to you.
We are outraged and grief-stricken about the death of George Floyd. We also know that racism and violence are systemic issues that we need to address, now and into the future. When the time is right, in coming weeks, we will reconvene the Park Summit to continue planning for the future of our park system. We will hold onto the realities of this past week (and the past several months) as we set the course of our policy direction for the next decade.
We will keep the Park Summit website live for now and send an update next week with a revised Park Summit schedule. The draft policy ideas are available below.
