MPRB Approves New Comprehensive Plan - an Operational Guide Thru 2036

Via an October e-announcement from the Minneapolis Park and Rec Board

Plan will guide organizational policy, programs and services, annual budget, and park improvements through 2036

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) completed a new Comprehensive Plan that will guide the organization’s policy and priorities through the year 2036! At its Oct. 20, 2021 meeting, MPRB Commissioners approved the plan, called “Parks for All.”

Parks for All is based on the shared values of communities the MPRB serves, organizations and agencies the MPRB works with, and MPRB Commissioners and staff. It was created, revised and finalized through three years of research and feedback.

Parks for All will provide guidance in developing policy, establishing or changing programs and services, setting the annual MPRB budget and creating park improvements over the next decade and a half.

“The work that went into creating the Park for All Comprehensive Plan was phenomenal,” said MPRB Superintendent Al Bangoura. “It truly reflects the values of this agency and I am excited to bring the Parks for All vision to life over the next 15 years.”

At the Oct. 20 meeting, Park Commissioners made several minor amendments before passing the plan. The amendments are posted under “Attachments” on Resolution 2021-309, Resolution Approving Parks for All, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board 2021 Comprehensive Plan.

The amended text has been redlined into the full plan is linked below. The graphic design team will work the amended text into an updated plan and post to the MPRB website soon.
