Minneapolis, Minnesota Minneapolis Waters: Elizabeth Umbanhowar Life of the City
Minneapolis, Minnesota Minneapolis Waters: Elizabeth Umbanhowar Life of the City Lake Harriet Source: Photopixels.com “In all my life, I never saw or dreamed of so beautiful a sight as the rolling prairies. Nothing can equal the surpassing beauty of the rounded swells and the sunny hollows, the brilliant green of the grass, the number less varieties and splendid hues of multitudes of flowers. I gazed in admiration too strong for words.” (Ellen Big- elow, 1835, in Sullivan, p.14) The Minneapolis Park system has been held up as a paragon of design innovation, community involvement and administrative efficacy by users and professionals alike. In a land of 10,000 waters, Minneapolis is bejewelled with a ring of streams, rivers and over 20 lakes, including lakes Brownie, Calhoun, Cedar, Diamond, Harriet, Hiawatha, Mother, Nokomis, Sweeney, Twin, Wirth and host of smaller “puddles”. Although pres- ently faced with budget shortfalls, Minneapolis parks and open spaces continue to enjoy ongoing public support and heavy use by residents and visitors alike. Conceived in the early 1880s by a forward-thinking board of trade, the Minneapolis park system was established by legislative mandate in 1883. The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board (MPRB) system retains much of its original character, including an independently elected park board, as well as the authority to levy taxes. As Alexan- der Garvin notes, “...Minneapolis park officials [have] more autonomy and accountabil- ity than their peers in every other big city in the country.” The first board hired Horace W.S. Cleveland, a landscape architect and protégé of city planner Frederick Law Olmsted, whose work included New York’s Prospect Park and Chicago’s South Park Commission.
