Website aims to inspire people to explore, promote, and preserve Minneapolis parks. Proceeds from every sale support the park system.
It just got easier to show how much you love Minneapolis’s highly-regarded park system.
LoveMplsParks.org, an online retailer of parks-themed apparel, was created to help engage citizens as park advocates, increase the use and recognition of park amenities, and give park visitors an opportunity to display their support.
The website is currently selling T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats with designs representing some of the city’s largest and most popular parks, like the Chain of Lakes, Theodore Wirth Park, and Minnehaha Falls.

“As a Minneapolis resident for more than 25 years, I’ve come to appreciate our parks as one of the primary reasons my family calls this city home,” said Dan Woychick, founder of the new website.
50% of all profits will be donated to Minneapolis Parks to help maintain and preserve its park system. The money will be donated quarterly to People for Parks, a grass-roots nonprofit organization that works to secure funds and volunteers for Minneapolis parks.
