Minneapolis Takes Suggestions On Proposed Name Of City's Newest Park
The land will fill a "park gap" in an area where there is rapid residential and commercial development, park officials said.
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minneapolis Park Board will host a public hearing Wednesday to discuss the proposed name for the city's newest park, located at 2905 4th Street Southeast in the Prospect Park neighborhood.
The park board acquired the land in 2019. It fills a "park gap" in an area where there is rapid residential and commercial development, park officials said.
The name, "Bridal Veil Gardens," has been nominated for the new park. Bridal Veil Gardens was one of the most popular names submitted when the city collected ideas from the community.

Before the city acquired the land, it was a privately-owned community garden. The park still has a community garden, but it is now operated by the park board.

The public hearing will take place at 6:45 p.m. in the board room at Mary Merrill Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board Headquarters on Wednesday. Call (612) 230-6400 before 3 pm on May 4 to sign up to speak.
