CIDNA Asks MBRP to Designate Dean Greens
as Neighborhood Park Asset
CIDNA has formally requested that the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board designate the Dean Greens (the green space between Dean Parkway; the area circled in red on map) as a neighborhood park asset. Currently, MPRB considers these spaces to be part of the Chain of Lakes Regional Parks.  
 
Regional parks and neighborhood parks are planned, programmed, and funded differently. CIDNA believes that the Dean Greens are currently used primarily as - and are best treated by MPRB as - neighborhood park assets.
