Portion of Lincoln Park to close until further notice to accommodate construction

[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth will temporarily close the lower portion of Lincoln Park between W Third and W Seventh Streets to users, effective Monday, May 15 for park and infrastructure improvements.  The trails in the upper portion of the park between W Seventh Street and W Skyline will remain open for use. 

The Lincoln Park Mini-Master Plan, adopted in February, 2016, called for major renovations and replacement of existing park amenities and infrastructure.  The park improvement project includes: restoration of the historic stone pavilion with new ADA restroom facilities, playground relocation and replacement, new parking lots, a new nature playscape, new and refurbished picnic pavilions, a new multi-use sport court, accessible trails, and lighting.

Construction is anticipated to last through fall of 2023.  Due to this upcoming and long-term closure for construction, there will be no events, programming or reservations allowed at Lincoln Park until Spring of 2024 at the earliest.
