The East of the River Park Master Plan contains long-term park designs for all Minneapolis neighborhood park properties east of the Mississippi River. It also plans for new parks, like Towerside Park, and new park connections, like the Grand Rounds Missing Link.

The East of the River Park Master Plan was created through more than a year of meetings, events, conversations, feedback, design and adjustment. The latest set of designs was open for a 45-day public comment period between Nov. 13, 2018 and Dec. 28, 2018.

The final park design concepts will be used to build improvements funded by the 20-Year Neighborhood Park Plan, which dedicates $11 million annually over 20 years (2017-2036) to revitalize Minneapolis neighborhood parks.
