The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board exists to provide
places and recreation opportunities for all people to gather,
celebrate, contemplate, and engage in activities that promote
health, well-being, community, and the environment.

Ranked Best Park System
The Minneapolis Park System has been rated #1 in America 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).

RevSports instructional classes maximize the time that a player spends developing individual
    skills. Classes start with an active, skill-based warm-up; transitions into a fun, more
            challenging game; and ends with an age-appropriate small-sided game.

Revolutionary Sports
RevSports instructional classes maximize the time that a player spends developing individual
    skills. Classes start with an active, skill-based warm-up; transitions into a fun, more
            challenging game; and ends with an age-appropriate small-sided game.

Revolutionary Sports
RevSports instructional classes maximize the time that a player spends developing individual
    skills. Classes start with an active, skill-based warm-up; transitions into a fun, more
            challenging game; and ends with an age-appropriate small-sided game.
