City Seeks Community Input on Parks Master Plan

The City of Mendota Heights has begun a Master Planning process of the City's Park System.

The purpose of the Master Plan is to establish a clear, 15-year vision for all of Mendota Heights parks, open and public spaces. This vision will guide all future maintenance, improvements and potential development within the park system to ensure Mendota Heights parks are well positioned to meet both current and future community wants and needs.

This planning process began in the winter of 2024 and will be completed in early 2025.

Community input is vital to this planning process! Your opinions and community expertise will create a vision that best reflects your community. There are three opportunities to participate right now:

• Short Survey: Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on the Mendota Heights Park system.
• Mapping Activity: Drop a pin and tell us about the parks you are most interested in.
• Idea Wall: Upload images of park amenities or facilities you would love to see in our park system.
