The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is launching three new park master planning projects, one of which covers the parks south of I-394 and West of I-35W. (The other two projects are the Mississippi Gorge and the Minnehaha Parkway Regional Trail). These three separate master plan projects will set visions and priorities for future park and trail improvements. The planning for each of these projects will be guided by separate Community Advisory Committees (CACs), which are appointed by various neighborhood organizations and elected officials.

Apply by March 21 to advise on any or all of the projects
