Minneapolis parks and their facilities are great places for wholesome, healthy outdoor recreation and entertainment special events, such as walks, runs, art fairs and fundraisers.
Permits must be obtained to use park land and facilities for a special event. The MPRB issues two types of permits:
- Facilities Use: Permit to bring anything to a park that is not natural to the park area, such as tents, amplification, dumpster, moving van, etc.
- Parkways Use: Permit to drive a bus, truck, limousine, trolley or horse and carriage on MPRB parkways.
Completed permit applications must be submitted to the Special Services/Permit Office at least 10 days before the event either in person at MPRB headquarters, 2117 West River Road, or by mail to:
Special Services/Permit Office
Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board
2117 West River Road
