Ranked Best Park System
Minneapolis Park Sytem was rated #1 in America from 2013-
2018 and #3 in 2019 by the Trust for Public Land’s ParkScore
index among the 100 largest U.S. cities.
ParkScore ratings are based equally on
three factors: park access (percent of
residents within one-half mile of a park);
park size (city size and percent of city area
dedicated to parks); and services and
investment (number of playgrounds and
per capita park spending).

Facility Rental
Renting your Parks and Recreation Centers
We want you to use your park facilities to their full potential!
Individuals and groups are encouraged to use the centers and
park spaces for self-directed activities.
Meeting Spaces
We offer many types of meeting and open spaces throughout
the entire park system for all your meeting needs. Groups may
be public and/or private agencies, organizations, businesses, or
more informal. There are different permit requirements and
special use fees, depending on the use.
Weddings and Receptions Hold your wedding ceremony
at one of the park system’s many reservable, picturesque
settings, including Lyndale Rose Garden, Minnehaha Park,
the Mississippi Riverfront and Theodore Wirth Park.
Birthday Parties Make your child’s birthday party special! We
are committed to making your child’s birthday a fun and
memorable event in the parks.
Meetings and Conferences Let us host your next meeting,
workshop or conference in one of the recreation centers.
Courts and Fields
No matter where you live in Minneapolis, you are never too far
from a sports field or court. Hundreds of tennis and basketball
courts are available, as well as fields for baseball, softball,
cricket, football, field hockey, soccer, lacrosse, rugby and more.
Most athletic fields may be rented for scheduled practices and
games. Some parks offer single fields, and others offer multiple
field sports complexes which can be rented for tournaments.
Neiman Sports Complex features eight full-size soccer fields,
two baseball fields, two youth baseball/fastpitch softball fields,
and one adult softball field.
Any user wishing to reserve an athletic facility must fill out and
submit an application form found on the MPRB website. All
MPRB owned facilities will be reserved through the following
process:
Ongoing blanket permits Permit reservations for multiple
ongoing dates of usage or at regional facilities are permitted
through the citywide permit coordinator in the Athletics and
Aquatics Department.
Week to week permits at park facilities Park facilities are
permitted on a week to week basis through full-time recreation
staff at recreation centers.
