Apart from winter, MN is known for its high quality of life, having the highest voter turnout in the nation every year, and its obsession with parks. (And gardening. But I'm terrible at gardening.)
Here in the TC we feel very strongly about parks. We're rated #1 in parks for the nation. We have a goal (it used to be in the city charter for Minneapolis) of at least one park or green space area within every six blocks, and we meet it. Our in-city lakes all have public paths around them, as does the Minnehaha Creek. We all have very strong feelings about trees in general and our green canopy in particular and the emerald ash borer in very particular. Some person is even blogging the history of Minneapolis parks over here.
I'm Minnesotan born, and I love parks. This summer, I decided I would try to visit all the parks in the TC with various of my children. And review the parks here for your convenience.
ALL the parks in the TC. Can you handle it.
