Via a September 15 Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board e-newsletter:
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and MPRB President Liz Wielinski invite you to the official grand opening of the new playground at Dickman Park on Thursday, September 25th. Join us for a brief program at 6:00pm followed by a ribbon cutting, light refreshments, and activities for kids.
The new playground equipment features swings, two play structures for children ages 2-5 and ages 5-12, a seesaw, and a spinning feature. Sand play is provided in a separate circular container formerly used for tether ball. Two benches and a picnic table have been added for parents. The playground is a full replacement of the former play equipment and meets current accessibility and safety guidelines. The MPRB plans to add several new trees around the playground other areas of the park in the spring of 2015.
The concept plan was developed with public input provided through three community meetings and an on-line survey. St Anthony West Neighborhood Organization (STAWNO) helped publicize the three public meetings to plan the playground improvements. This project is funded with $200,000 from the MPRB Neighborhood Park Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Dickman Park is a 2.11 acre neighborhood park located at 636 2nd St. NE, in Minneapolis. Other amenities in the park include an open field, a wading pool, restrooms, basketball court, and a picnic area.
MPRB staff look forward to celebrating this new neighborhood play area with you!
