Graco Park Construction Update

Graco Park from above in January 2024

Construction progressed throughout winter on new Northeast Minneapolis riverfront park - on track to open in fall 2024

Lots of progress has been made over the winter on Graco Park, a new riverfront park just north of the Plymouth Avenue Bridge in Northeast Minneapolis.

Construction has been focused on the new park building, which is expected to be complete in 2024. The building's exterior shell and roof framing are complete, its concrete floor has been poured, and work on mechanical and electrical systems is underway. Windows are scheduled to be installed in March, then work on finishing the building exterior will resume.

Later this spring, work on the building will shift to its interior, and construction of the outdoor park elements, like landscaping and pathways, will pick up. The park is on track to open in fall 2024.
