As summer nears, millions of visitors will again converge on Minneapolis parks. It is important to remember that Minneapolis parks have ordinances established by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board that govern park use. A complete list of park ordinances can be found here.

  

Finally, as you visit Minneapolis parks this summer, please leave your valuables at home or secured in a vehicle trunk (prior to arrival). Thieves are looking for easy opportunities to break into cars and steal wallets, purses, brief cases, and other valuables. These crimes only take seconds to commit and credit cards are most often targeted.

Any non-emergency questions or concerns regarding public safety in the parks can be sent to parkpolice@minneapolisparks.org.

Fifth Precinct Open House will be Tuesday May 17, 5-7 pm. Here's a preview of what you'll see, and here's a flyer with more information.

Every year we have National Night Out, and just about every year Minneapolis is #1 in the nation for our size of city for the number of events we hold. Let's keep that winning streak going!

If you have had a NNO event in the past, you should have already received an email for a super simple and quick way to register again this year. If you missed the email or are a new event organizer, email Luther.Krueger@minneapolismn.gov and he'll make it super easy for you! He can even tell you if someone already registered on your block!
