Get involved in planning for East Phillips Parks and Open Spaces
Apply to become a Community Collaborator and help create a vision for Cedar Avenue Field Park and East Phillips Park. The MPRB’s Community Collaborator initiative is a paid opportunity for individuals and groups within the East Phillips community to host conversations and engage with residents about parks and recreation.
The work of Community Collaborators will inform the design and priorities for the East Phillips Open Spaces Plan in 2024.
Proposals to work as a Community Collaborator will be competitive, with funding paid to those whose proposals are selected. They should involve creative, innovative ways to engage different communities through digital platforms, in person, or both.
Examples of Community Collaborations could include but are not limited to:
- Virtual coffee hour with community members
- Story campaign with video interviews
- Community open house
- Focus group or community conversation
Fill out or download and print a Community Collaborator application. Proposals are due on Wednesday, April 17. Send completed applications to epachuta@minneapolisparks.org or
