https://www.minneapolisparks.org/news/2022/05/17/construction-on-new-bde-maka-ska-concessions-pavilion-area-begins-next-week/ Construction on a new concessions pavilion area at Bde Maka Ska begins next week! The project will create two new buildings, including new, all-gender accessible restrooms and ample outdoor public seating to replace the building that burned down in 2019. Work will start Monday, May 23 at the site of the former pavilion and continue throughout the year. The new buildings are scheduled to open next summer. Please stay away from construction areas and follow all detour signs. Construction Impacts Boating The Bde Maka Ska boat launch will be closed June 6-September 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. Please visit the Bde Maka Ska Refectory Rebuild project page and subscribe to email updates to stay up-to-date on trail or road closures related to this project. Background The former Bde Maka Ska concessions pavilion, also called a “refectory,” was built in 1930 and was operated seasonally until it burned down in 2019. The site was paved over to provide a temporary gathering space at the popular northeastern corner of the lake and utilities were repaired to allow vendors to continue operating. The Bde Maka Ska-Harriet Master Plan, approved in 2017, provided guidance for the pavilion site improvements. The new pavilion concept was designed by a team led by Cuningham after working with Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board staff and numerous stakeholders. MPRB Commissioners approved the project’s concept design in May 2021 and a construction contract was awarded in May 2022. ____________________________________________________________ As of April 2, 2021, this project is in the design phase. Design firm information has not been disclosed. Although a firm timeline for construction has not been determined, construction is not expected to start prior to September 2022. Proposed new Bde Maka Ska pavilion The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has two options in mind for a new Bde Maka Ska pavilion to replace the one that burned down in 2019, destroying the Lola on the Lake restaurant. Both concepts propose dividing the pavilion site into two buildings and providing a performance area. Concept A shows more trees integrated into the seating areas. It would have a dining space in the northern building with relatively equal amounts of space for food service, restrooms and storage in the southern building. Concept B features a large central gathering space. It would have a dining space in the southern building, larger restrooms and less space for food service and storage than Concept A. Cost estimates will be presented to the Park Board after a site concept is chosen.
