[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth invites the public to a ribbon cutting event on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 3:00 pm to celebrate completion of the improvement project at Hillside Sport Court Park. The ribbon cutting will take place at Hillside Sport Court Park, 408 E Eighth Street.

Free family-friendly activities will take place immediately following the ribbon cutting. Duluth Parks and Recreation will provide equipment for pickleball and basketball on the sport court, and the playground will be open for play. People of all ages and abilities are welcome to come to celebrate this special occasion at the beautifully renewed park.

Improvements at Hillside Sport Court Park include enhanced site connectivity and accessibility, new pavilion and picnic area, fully reconstructed sport court, renewed playground with embankment slides, accessible parking, regraded open field space and future community garden space, repaired retaining walls, new landscaping, and refreshed bike racks, among other improvements. These improvements were identified in the Hillside Sport Court Park Plan, as adopted by Duluth City Council on August 21, 2023.

This project was supported by grant funding from the National Park Service/Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program, and the Housing and Urban Development/City of Duluth Community Development Block Grant Program. These grants were matched with City funds, including Park Fund contributions.
