Loring Park

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Welcome to Loring Park located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The City of Minneapolis first purchased this park in 1883 and named it Central Park, but in 1890 it was renamed in honor of the man who is considered the "Father" of the Minneapolis Park system, Charles Loring, who started off as commissioner but eventually became president of the park board. Loring is credited with planting the first trees on public property in the City of Minneapolis west of the Mississippi River. Today this park boasts multipurpose trails, the Minneapolis sculpture garden, and much more. So whether you are a resident of the Twin Cities region or just visiting, come out ane explore Loring Park.
