Minneapolis Ranked Nation’s Best
Park System
The Park Board was created by the Minnesota
legislature and ratified by Minneapolis voters in
April 1883. The Minneapolis Park System is rated
#1 in America by The Trust for Public Land’s
ParkScore® index, finishing first among the 50
largest U.S. cities. Minneapolis parks scored well on all rating
factors, with especially high marks for park system investment and
park accessibility – with 94 percent of residents living within ½-mile
from a park or trail.
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).

Phenology in Our Parks
Become a detective! In this class based on the book “In the
Snow: Who’s Been Here?” we will search for clues, play
games and create art to discover what animals have been in
our parks. Each week we will learn about a new Minnesota
animal that stays here in the winter. Put on your detective
hats and bring your magnify glass as we discover “Who’s
Been Here?” in our parks!
When do flowers and trees start to bloom? What are the first
animals and insects we see? Phenology is the study of
changes in plants and animals and often answers these
questions. Become a scientist as we study phenology in our
parks! Create your own science journal, sharpen your
observation skills and collect data. At the end of the series we
will submit our findings to the USA National Phenology
Network and share our data with other scientists like you.
Play games, explore the arts, take hikes and much more in
this spring discovery class!
