The Minneapolis Park Board (MPRB) is seeking input on Upper Harbor draft park program and concepts, public art master plan and more.
Find materials in one place on the website, take an online survey, share your thoughts and pass the word around. The City is not asking for people to pick a concept, but is seeking input on the draft designs and what people like, do not like, feel is missing, etc. Although a few graphics are embedded in the survey, they advise that you watch the video first. The survey focuses on a few key questions and does not contain full information.

At the June 18 meeting Dakota community members shared their insights on the evolving park at the Upper Harbor Terminal. The community members are helping the team weave language, history and culture into the park, and providing important perspective on the relationships between people, the land and water.
All meetings are currently virtual via online meeting platform Zoom in order to comply with social distancing requirements. To participate read the instructions and follow the link upperharbormpls.com/draft-park-concepts/posted.
