The nine-member Board of Commissioners is an indepen-dently elected, semi-autonomous body responsible for maintaining and developing the Minneapolis Park system to meet the needs of citizens of Minneapolis. This unique structure allows independent decision-making so the MPRB can efficiently manage the park system and serve the diverse park and recreation needs of the city.

Mission The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board shall permanently preserve, protect, maintain, improve, and enhance its natural resources, parkland, and recreational opportunities for current and future generations.

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).
