The Purgatory Park draft Master Plan is scheduled to be presented to the Minnetonka Park Board for the first time in March. The formal comment period for the master plan will commence around that time and extend until May.

To enhance public engagement further, staff-initiated discussions with the Park Board on topics within the master plan have already begun, with the first session taking place on Jan. 3. Another topic conversation is scheduled for the Feb. 7 Park Board meeting. That meeting will include the following business item: Purgatory Park Master Plan - Preliminary Strategies Regarding Dogs. Public comments will be accepted during this meeting.

We also encourage park visitors to share feedback in the project guestbook. The comments received will be thoroughly discussed at the Park Board meeting in May, where the board will consider a recommendation.
