LORING PARK TRAIL WORK
This fall, contractors working for the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) repaired and rehabilitated about half of the trails in Loring Park. The trails to be repaired for this project were selected based on their condition and because they are not slated for removal in the future, based on improvements proposed in the park’s master plan. MPRB recognizes that additional trails within the park will need work as part of a future repair or capital project.
LAKE HARRIET BANDSHELL
The Lake Harriet Bandshell and its concessions building were repaired, repainted blue, and reopened this summer for concerts and events. Park gardeners and volunteers also spruced up the space with new plantings throughout the Bandshell area this year. Next, repairs are planned at the smaller Bandshell area structures, which include the boat launch building, picnic shelter next to the concessions building, and information kiosk. These structures will have their roofs replaced and be repainted just like the Bandshell. In addition, the doors at the Bandshell buildings will be replaced and some new builtin seating will be added at the picnic shelter and on the existing planters facing the lake. Work is expected to begin in late winter and wrap up before the start of Minneapolis Music and Movies in the Parks on Memorial Day Weekend.
