Temporary bike skills park moving to permanent location at 34th Avenue South and Minnehaha Creek, Nokomis Tennis Courts being reconstructed

Recent approvals, completed design work and upcoming construction will bring new public clay tennis courts and a permanent bike skills park to Minnehaha Parkway Regional Trail in 2027.

Bike Skills Park at 34th Avenue

The temporary bike skills park on the Nokomis Tennis Courts across from Minnehaha Parkway and the Nokomis Community Center is moving to its permanent location at 34th Avenue South and Minnehaha Creek. The features will be relocated in August 2026 so reconstruction can start on the Nokomis Tennis Courts. The bike skills features will be available for use at 34th Avenue South and Minnehaha Creek until construction on the permanent bike skills park starts in 2027. For more information, visit the Nokomis Tennis Courts project page.

Clay Courts at 32nd Avenue

These three courts complement and extend the five hard courts at Lake Hiawatha Recreation Center, which are all within Nokomis-Hiawatha Regional Park. Reconstruction of these three hard-surface courts is made possible through partnership with Support the Courts Foundation. Visit Minnehaha Creek Segment 4 Tennis Courts Transformation for information on this project.
In May 2026, MPRB Commissioners approved a donation agreement with Support the Courts Foundation to reconstruct the hard-surface tennis courts (Nokomis Tennis Courts) across Minnehaha Parkway from Nokomis Community Center.
The Nokomis Tennis Courts are part of an effort to implement a vision across multiple parks to provide a high quality, varied, and trail-connected racket sports experience in this part of Minneapolis.

It includes
• Pickleball-only courts at Nokomis Community Center
• Clay-surface tennis courts at East 46th Street and 32nd Avenue South
• A bank of five tennis courts at Lake Hiawatha Recreation Center
• A pair of combination tennis/pickleball courts at Bloomington Avenue
