About the Cedar-Riverside Recreation Centers Predesign project
The project explores two new recreation centers in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood:
1. One would be integrated into a larger development on the east end of the Augsburg University campus
2. The other would renovate/relocate the Brian Coyle Community Center, currently located in Currie Park
The outcome of the project will be two Predesign reports: one for each center. The reports will be used to apply for State Bond Funds to fund each center independently.
This project is not a Design and Construction project. Additional funding will be required to design and construct one or both recreation centers.
About the community advisory committee (CAC)
A community advisory committee (CAC) provides volunteer opportunities for stakeholders to share insights and resources related to a park or recreation center project. The CAC serves to build and sustain relationships between the community, partner agencies, and the MPRB.
CAC members are expected to represent the views of park/recreation center users and to work collaboratively with each other and the public to provide comprehensive recommendations about the project to the MPRB. They are appointed by MPRB commissioners and an MPRB selection committee.
