Minneapolis Parks Face Budget Crisis | Minneapolis News

Minneapolis is on the brink of a budget crisis that could slash park services and lead to 26 layoffs—unless city leaders act fast. Mayor Frey’s proposed 2027 budget falls $3.1 million short of what the Park and Recreation Board needs to keep facilities running, staffed, and vibrant. With new centers like North Commons at risk of under-resourcing and existing parks facing reduced upkeep, residents are sounding the alarm over cuts to beloved green spaces. But there’s still time to intervene: the board meets this Wednesday to hear public input before final decisions are made. The city’s future as a playground for all its people hangs in the balance.
