Dog parks have become an important part of community recreation planning.
Spaces designed for pets and their owners encourage activity, social interaction, and stronger neighborhood connections.

We love helping communities create spaces for every member of the family — including the four-legged ones 🐾

Our engineer, Joel, would like to remind everyone to skip the gridlock and grab the handlebars for National Bike to Work Week. And if you're in Minneapolis, our own Andy Lageson will be cooking up free pancakes on the Sabo Bridge this Friday from 7:30-9:30. Happy riding! 🚲💼

Great playgrounds don’t happen by accident—they’re built on a clear process.

From early vision to long-term success, every project follows five essential steps: Plan. Fund. Design. Build. Sustain. When you have the right structure in place, big ideas become achievable—and communities get spaces that truly last.

If you’re starting a project, confidence comes from knowing what’s next.

To the moms pushing swings, tying shoes, cheering from the sidelines, and making memories at the playground — Happy Mother’s Day.

Playgrounds become the backdrop for some of childhood’s biggest moments, and we’re grateful to help create spaces where families connect together every day.

Why should Midwesterners take advantage of May days? Because we know how long winter feels. ☀️🌳
May in Minnesota brings some of the most comfortable weather of the entire year:
🌼 Longer daylight hours
🌼 Sunshine and warmer temperatures
🌼 Green parks and blooming trees
🌼 Perfect weather for outdoor play and family connection
Minneapolis averages nearly 200 sunny days annually, and May is one of the best months to enjoy outdoor recreation before summer schedules get busy. ()
Parks and playgrounds become gathering places again — where kids move, families connect, and communities thrive.
At MWP Recreation, we’re proud to help create spaces where those moments happen every day.
