Minnehaha is the city’s only large (community) park east of Freya. It serves residents east of the new North-South Freeway who have been adversely impacted by its construction.

The park is currently in poor to failing condition, lacks recent investment, is located within a high social and environmental park equity priority zone, and requires substantial redevelopment to restore its functionality.

An initial park renovation concept plan has been generated with the community, and the design will be completed with additional neighborhood input. Proposed improvements include renovation of up to 10 acres, a large (community) playground, restroom upgrades, splash pad, paved off-street parking lot, neighborhood dog park, paved pathways, ADA improvements,

irrigation, multi-purpose field, connection to existing soft surface trails, landscape restoration, and if budget allows, either a pump track or a sport court complex (depending on community preference). The planned project will include design, public outreach, and construction phases.

Key Improvements:

• Large custom playground’
• Restroom replacements
• Local Gathering places
• Splash pad
• Sport court
• Paved pathways
