The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission (GMRPTC) has teamed up with national accessibility expert Bill Botten to enhance the accessibility of Greater Minnesota's regional facilities. A key part of this cooperation will be a series of webinar forums regarding aspects of different features commonly found in parks or as part of trails. The second forum, titled Pedestrian Trails and Shared Use Paths, will take place from 11:30am - 1:00pm on Tuesday, April 15. This seminar will review the differences between accessible pedestrian trails and shared use paths. We will review the technical and scoping requirements in the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Standards for newly constructed or altered pedestrian trails on federal sites and that serves as a best practice for state and local government pedestrian trail facilities. Additionally, the final scoping and technical guidelines for shared use paths which are designed primarily for use by bicyclists and pedestrians for transportation and recreation purposes will be addressed. In addition to an overview of the requirements for both pedestrian trails and shared use paths, the presenter will address participants’ questions and share common sources of confusion with these unique recreational facilities.

Recently retired, he served for 22 years as an accessibility specialist, technical assistance coordinator, and the training coordinator for the federal designation agency that develops the accessibility standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA). Bill specializes in accessibility issues related to recreation facilities and outdoor developed areas including recreational boating and fishing facilities, pedestrian trails, picnic and camping facilities, sports facilities, and play areas. His training experience includes hundreds of presentations over the last 30 years to local, state, and national audiences on injury prevention, disability awareness and sensitivity, and accessibility issues. He was part of a team that developed the combined guidelines for the ADA and ABA laws and was the lead staff for the development of guidelines for outdoor developed areas. Additionally, he has participated in several ASTM (an accessibility standards organization) and RESNA (Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America) committees for inclusive fitness equipment and play area surfaces. Accessibility Audit Opportunity Through the GMRPTC In addition to presenting at the quarterly forums, the GMRPTC is going to provide a limited number of regional parks and trails an opportunity to conduct accessibility audits of their facilities with Bill Botten. These audits are geared towards facilities that are in the Master Planning process or have older facilities that may not meet current accessibility standards. Audits will give those facilities a better understanding as to what changes can help improve access, resulting in small investments that can reduce barriers or even future Legacy development projects that can make a bigger impact. Note that facilities currently applying for or have received recent funding should be working accessibility into their design process. If you are interested in participating in this audit process, please email System Plan Coordinator Joe Czapiewski at [email protected] for more information and to be placed on the interest list. GMRPTC Unveils New Value Statement for Inclusion The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission unveiled its Value Statement for Inclusion at the January 21, 2025 Grantee Meeting in St. Cloud. This statement, which includes its vision for how inclusion and accessibility can be incorporated across the planning and implementation cycle, is geared towards helping our regional partners to not only meet basic required accessibility codes but achieve a higher standard of inclusion for all users. Value Statement for Inclusion Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission believes that nature and outdoor recreation belong to everyone. We are committed to creating and maintaining parks and trails that are accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to all individuals, regardless of their abilities Our dedication to inclusion reflects our core values of equity and respect for every visitor. Our Commitment to Inclusion: Universal Design: We promote universal design principles in all projects to ensure parks and trails are navigable and enjoyable for people of all abilities. This includes well-maintained pathways, accessible restrooms, and appropriate signage. Inclusive Experiences: We encourage our facilities to provide diverse recreational opportunities that accommodate the needs of everyone, from adaptive sports to sensory-friendly activities, ensuring everyone can connect with nature in a meaningful way. Community Engagement: We encourage active conversations with the community, including individuals of all abilities and advocacy groups, to gather feedback to continuously improve the accessibility of facilities and programs. Education and Training: Our designated facilities educate their staff and volunteers about the importance of inclusion and provide them with the tools and training needed to support all visitors effectively. Connection to Nature and the Outdoors: We believe facilitating opportunities to connect people of all abilities with nature fosters an appreciation for the outdoors and the environment. Continuous Improvement: Inclusion is an ongoing process. We encourage facilities to regularly assess and upgrade their facilities and programs to meet evolving standards and the diverse needs of their community. We are committed to staying informed about best practices and innovative to ensure everyone can participate. New Accessibility Grant Opportunity In order to support all of this accessibility work, the GMRPTC is establishing a new grant opportunity focused on accessibility. Each year, the Commission plans to set aside a part of its grant funds for smaller facility accessibility improvement projects. The funds will be available each year on an ongoing application basis until funds are exhausted and will be available for immediate contract. The idea is for Legacy-eligible regional parks and trails to make incremental, low-cost changes that improve accessibility in areas that are not being targeted for full development projects. For example, a park that has a 10 year old day-use area with inaccessible restroom doors and walkways would be able to apply for this grant now, instead of waiting for the next development cycle a decade or more in the future. Keep an eye out for full program details and funding availability in a future newsletter. The Commission hopes to release program details in this year's funding guidelines and criteria later in the spring.

The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission (GMRPTC) has released its 2024 Policy and Planning Report. The report, due to the Legislative Legacy Committees by January 15 each year, includes a review of the Legacy grant recommendations for the Fiscal Year 2026 funding cycle, the criteria and selection process used, an overview of Greater Minnesota's regional system development, and milestone achievements for the calendar year.
The Chair of the Commission, Rick Anderson, introduces the report by describing the Commission and its processes as nimble. He defines the descriptor as an approach that listens to and works with the designated facilities to find solutions that will work for the projects and the health of the system. One aspect highlighted to this approach is to open the Environmental and Archeological Review Grant available all year instead of during a specific time period. Partnerships are vital to the GMRPTC. Working with our partners, GMRPTC kicked off the Minnesota Parks Artist in Residence (MNPAiR) program which will enhance the public's experience in the park facilities. GMRPTC has also received a contract with our partners at the International Mountain Bike Associations (IMBA) to host its mountain bike Trail Labs in Minnesota for the next three years. This year, Greater Minnesota system continues to grow adding 3 facilities for a total of 80 regionally designated parks, trails, and special feature facilities across 80 Greater Minnesota counties. The Commission recommends $13,492,038 in awards to 14 applicants across the State. At least one project in each of the six districts was funded. Emerging Opportunity grants were funded for 3 projects for a total of $1,914,033. The full report is available for download here. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Parks and Trails Division, the Metropolitan Council Metropolitan Regional Parks, and the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission are partnering with Forecast Public Art to launch Creating Belonging in Minnesota Parks — Artist Residency in the Parks Pilot Program in parks across Minnesota exploring community and belonging. The selected Minnesota-based artists-in-residence will research and engage with a park, trail or park system and its communities and then use that research to develop new work(s). Unlike traditional residency opportunities, this program focuses on how artists can serve as partners to and ambassadors for the parks and contribute not just art, but ideas.
The goal of the Minnesota Parks Artist-in-Residence Pilot Program is to enhance a sense of welcoming and belonging to park users. We hope that this pilot helps foster deeper community engagement and relationship-building in state and regional parks; improves access to Minnesota parks and trails; and increases collective appreciation for park uses, outdoor recreation, and natural resources, especially in underserved communities. This is a paid opportunity for artists that aims to address unique opportunities and challenges around creating belonging in our public parks. This residency is modeled on artist residencies in government, which embed artists into public systems. Embedding an artist in a park or a park system will allow the selected artists to apply their own creative perspectives and skills to foster a greater sense of belonging. All selected artists will be a part of a cohort of 9, and will meet with other artists regularly to foster a sense of community and to share ideas. Legacy funds dedicated to coordination among partner agencies will fund artists’ time, and project materials/expenses. The artwork will be determined in collaboration between the artist and the host site. Artists will also build connections in the local community and could collaborate with other parks in the region. Artistic outputs may take the form of community conversations, music/dance/theater/performance, ephemeral installations, 3D sculpture, projection/lighting projects, and other temporary works. Artists will spend an average of 20 hours each week from July 2024 – June 2025 as the Artist-in-Residence. Artist-in-Residence position Timeline: 12 months (August 2024 to August 2025) Time commitment: average 20 hours/week (part-time) Stipend: $40,000; Materials budget: $14,000 Location: A Minnesota park or a park system (find the full list of host sites at the Submittable application link) Deadline to apply: July 21, 2024, 11:59 pm Information session: Tuesday, June 25, 2024, 4:00 pm (Register for information session) See the website for additional information. The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission (GMRPTC) has released its 2023 Policy and Planning Report. The report, due to the Legislative Legacy Committees by January 15 each year, includes a review of the Legacy grant recommendations for the Fiscal Year 2025 funding cycle, the criteria and selection process used, an overview of Greater Minnesota's regional system development, and milestone achievements for the calendar year.
The Mountain Bike Trail Development – Guidelines for Successfully Managing the Process guidebook, created in conjunction with the International Mountain Bike Association and Rock Solid Trail Contracting, was published in May. A groundbreaking report was released capping a 2-year survey project as part of the Parks and Trails Legacy Partners which surveyed park usage using state-of-the-art location based data. The Greater Minnesota system continues to grow adding 8 facilities in 2023 for a total of 77 regionally designated parks, trails, and special feature facilities across 80 Greater Minnesota counties. The Commission received 20 eligible funding applications and recommend $16,354,035 in awards to 14 applicants and an emerging opportunities fund. The full report is available for download here. Understanding visitation to Minnesota’s parks and trails is essential for planning, programming, and investment decisions. Visitation estimates generally rely on methods such as intercept surveys, in-field visitation counts, and automated trail counters. Visitation estimates using passively-generated data sources may offer opportunities to complement existing strategies.
This project used aggregated and anonymized location-based services (LBS) data to estimate and evaluate visitation to Minnesota parks and trails. LBS data gives information about when and where people travel. This approach provides unprecedented detail about how visitors use parks and trails and broadly describes who those visitors are. Visitation and use patterns can be analyzed at annual, monthly, weekly, and hourly time intervals. This data makes it possible to understand how people travel to parks and trails and where they are coming from. This data is intended to supplement, but not replace existing data used for decision making. In addition to the full report published previously, this project has been enhanced by an interactive webpage. The webpage simplifies the reading of the report by breaking it into sections for an overview, parks, trails, frequently asked questions, etc. Each section also includes interactive pieces to all the viewer to look at results for individual parks and trails or to view the information for just the MN Department of Natural Resources parks and trails, the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails, and the Twin Cities Metro parks and trails. This project was created by a collaboration of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission, and ten metropolitan regional park implementing agencies. This project used funds from the State of Minnesota Parks and Trail Legacy Fund. Minnesota Parks and Trails Usage Report Website The new guidebook for mountain bike trail creation, Mountain Bike Trail Development: Guidelines for Successfully Managing the Process are the world’s most comprehensive mountain bike trail resource. Four years in the making, the guidelines are made possible by Clean Water, Land and Legacy amendment funding. While the GMRPTC conceived of and spearheaded the project, other agencies recognized the importance of the guidelines and assisted with content development and review. We are pleased to partner with IMBA (the International Mountain Bicycling Association) and Rock Solid Trail Contracting, along with author Jake Carsten to bring this guide to fruition.
