Peavey Park Plaza is a popular public gathering area and event space in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. Designed by landscape architect M. Paul Friedman and constructed from 1974-75, the park was designed to connect Nicollet Mall to Loring Park and provide a relaxing oasis for urban pedestrians. The sunken, multi-tiered space is an historically significant example of the Modernist aesthetic, incorporating Prairie/Wrightian style elements in its complex, formed concrete fountains and recreation areas. Peavey Park Plaza is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and, in consultation with its original architect, is undergoing an historically-sensitive reconstruction/revitalization to improve its ADA accessibility, add new plantings, and restore winter ice skating to its central basin.

We attended a concert on this plaza performed by members of the Minnesota Orchestra. We were seated in pairs and physically separated in order to abide by the COVID19 recommendations. The plaza and setting is very nice and an excellent venue for a summertime concert. The setting provided the occasional colorful ambient sounds of the city including people and emergency vehicles. It was delightful.

Finally stopped by there on a break from a bike ride on a Sunday morning. It was delightful. Nice chairs and tables. The waterfalls are nice white noise. The kids looked like they were walking on water and we're having a blast. Saw young, old couples, familes, people by themselves, locals, tourists, a enjoying themselves.

I’ve come a few times after or before work. It’s a little gem inside Minneapolis. A relaxing place to sit and read a book or enjoy the sun and skyline. The fountains are beautiful. The park is well maintained and clean. It’s located right near a bus stop too.

This has been one of my favorite downtown Minneapolis spots for decades, particularly in the summertime. On this occasion, I sat near the fountains enjoying grocery store sushi and iced tea as the sun went down. What a true treasure.
