Welcome to urbancreek! My web site is still a work in progress, and there are revisions in the works. I have a vast and growing collection of pictures and souvenirs from Minnehaha Park and I hope some of the pictures here will show off a very few of the items in my collection. And I'm always looking for more stories, more pictures, souvenirs, memories, and memorobilia from Minnehaha Park. If you've got anything you'd like me to know about, please contact me at hello@urbancreek.com.
Big changes are coming to Minnehaha Park in this winter of 2008-2009. Federal, state, and local funding is in place to begin stabilizing the creek bed and creek banks, and to repair the stone work that was done in the 1930's by the WPA.
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District held a ground-breaking ceremony for this enormous project on Friday, November 21, 2008, at 1 PM at the park.
MCWD has much more information on its web site, and including background on the problems, and more links that you should go check out.
If you happen to know anything about the 1997 Minnehaha Restoration Plan and how (or if) it was included in this current plan, I'd love to heard from you!
