The Downtown Service Area Master Plan (DSAMP) was approved in November 2017. It guides development of existing neighborhood parks and potential new parkland in downtown Minneapolis. The North Loop River Connection Park is an integral piece of what DSAMP has identified as the 8th Avenue Streamscape, that will eventually wind through the North Loop and provide a recognizable public connection to regional parkland on the Mississippi Riverfront. The Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board (MPRB) is currently working with several developers to complete this vision.
