Water Works Temporary - Feeding the Flyway

A pop-up park celebrating and supporting wildlife along one of the world’s greatest migration routes.

Open through mid-September
Corner of Portland Avenue and West River Road, Minneapolis

ASLA-MN partnered with the Minneapolis Parks Foundation, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, and the Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District to install Water Works Temporary, a pop-up park celebrating and supporting wildlife along one of the world’s greatest migration routes.  The park will act as a demonstration site for the proposed Water Works Park in downtown Minneapolis along the riverfront.  Learn more about the proposed park at http://mplsparksfoundation.org/projects/water-works/

Water Works Temporary was unveiled on June 9 as part of the Northern Spark Festival.  It will be open to the public through mid-September. Make sure your summer plans include a visit to this innovative site!
