Marcy Park

A Neighborhood Haven

Marcy Park is a small, serene park located in the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, just east of the Mississippi River. Spread over 1.27 acres, the park offers a peaceful retreat for families, students, and residents in the area.

Originally developed on the site of the former Marcy School, it has grown into a community hub with modern updates to enhance its functionality and appeal.

Park Features

The park is home to a variety of features that cater to different interests. A recently updated playground with tot-lot equipment provides a fun space for young children, while a picnic area offers a scenic spot for gatherings.

It also hosts a full basketball court, catering to sports enthusiasts, and a hammocking grove for relaxation. The addition of a dog park makes it a welcoming destination for pet owners.

Walking paths and upgraded benches make the park comfortable for leisure strolls or quiet reflection.

Recent Improvements

In 2023, under the 20-Year Neighborhood Park Plan, Marcy Park underwent significant improvements, including the installation of the basketball court, dog park, and hammocking area, as well as updated lighting and pathways.

These enhancements have doubled the recreational opportunities at this quaint park. The park's green space, surrounded by evergreen trees, adds to its tranquil atmosphere, making it ideal for relaxation or community activities.
