GMRPTC ONLINE APPLICATION PORTAL
The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission operates an online application and planning portal for use by parks and trails agencies. Users may access the portal for Designation Applications, Master Plans, or Funding Applications. New users will find the portal easy to use after creating a user account.
 
The Commission has operated an online data management system (DMS) since 2015. Users access the DMS to apply for designation as a regional park or trail, complete a Master Plan, and apply for funding. A complete user tutorial and support materials are included in the “Application Toolbox.” The DMS if free and open to all users; parks and trails agencies are encouraged to use the Master Plan portal even if they aren’t applying for designation. Sample qualified Master Plans for designated facilities are provided below.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact System Plan Coordinator Joe Czapiewski at coordinator@gmrptcommission.org. Applicants are encouraged to use the messaging system within the DMS to communicate with Commission staff about particular Designation Applications, Master Plans, or Funding Applications.

Each plan is unique and tailored for that specific facility and community while meeting the requirements for regional designation. Samples provided are the final published hard copy documents and may not contain all of the information required for designation evaluation in the Master Plan portal.
