Tower Hill Park — Attraction in Minneapolis

Needs some serious TLC. Here is an idea open the tower more than one day a year and take the money to rehab the park. They could probably make $1000 every weekend the tower is open. I think that is a conservative guess too. Here is a mini list to improve the park: Repair the trail and rail going down the east side Repair the blacktop path or install something with a lower grade so this is more accessible to everyone Repair the wooden steps Repair the water fountain that is like a giant bird toilet Repair the tennis courts that look like there were high by an earthquake Repair the base around the tower with some concrete. Install new picnic tables and grilling locations Install a wooden fence between the sidewalk and university to add a little character...

Good little park with a great view of city and claim of being highest ground elevation in Minneapolis. Also has water tower but it's only open 1 day a year.

I often watch the sunset here. On any nice summer nights, lots of couples, dog walkers, and groups of friends come to do the same. Can hear the light rail train below.

The fixtures are a little run down, could be more seating, tables. Tennis courts seem active. There is plenty of trees and shades, so nice park...

We come here each and every time we visit Minneapolis. The views are great, the area is serene and the houses are exquisite. This is a great spot for photos of the city. We recently brought my father-in-law here and showed him the views. He's in his 80's and has lived here since a young boy and this was his first time here. He enjoyed every moment though the climb was a bit treacherous for him. We look forward to...
