Bde Maka Ska To Get New Concessions Pavilion

MINNEAPOLIS — Crews will begin construction on a new concessions pavilion area at Bde Maka Ska on Monday. Construction will continue through 2022. The plan is for it to be opened by summer 2023.

The old pavilion had to be demolished due to a fire in 2019. The new structure will be built on the same site.

The new pavilion will include two buildings, including "all-gender accessible restrooms" and "ample outdoor public seating," the city said.

The city of Minneapolis has listed the following construction impacts:

Boating

• The Bde Maka Ska boat launch will be closed from June 6 to Sept. 16
• Trailered boats will not be allowed on or off the lake while the boat launch is closed
• Boat launch hours are 6 am-10 pm through May 30, then 2-8 pm May 31-June 5
• The Minneapolis Sailing Center and Wheel Fun Rentals will continue to operate at northeast Bde Maka Ska this season

Trail and Road Closures

• Occasional trail closures will be necessary to maintain a safe work area
• Road closures may also be necessary
