Progress in Minneapolis

The opportunity for bike parks to be built across Minneapolis has never looked more promising. Since 2017 we have been advocating for safe and exciting bike parks where kids can ride their bikes in a dedicated space. Our engagement with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and community outreach has helped educate, build excitement, and get bike parks added to master plans across the city. 

 

To date there are 12+ approved bike parks in the master plans for neighborhood and regional parks across the city. Unfortunately, just because they are in the plans it doesn’t mean they will all be built, but it’s a huge first step in getting them prioritized and funded. Your continued engagement, energy and contributions will be instrumental in getting these bikes parks built.
