ppa Tower Hill Park committee

Join your neighbors for the first meeting of the revived PPA Tower Hill Park Committee on Monday, August 12th at 7pm (in-person) at Luxton Park Recreation Center. We will advocate for Tower Hill Park and the Witch’s Hat Water Tower and organize events designed to give people opportunities to learn the Tower’s history, appreciate its value, and enjoy spectacular views from its observation deck. Although the Tower cannot open to the public until after the City of Minneapolis finishes the interior repairs, we cannot wait. We need to ensure the Park is maintained, particularly the popular view of the city skyline at sunset from the base of the Tower.
The Tower has not been open to the public since 2019 when nearly 5,000 people climbed the stairs during the two-day “Doors Open” event. We hope to open the Tower again for Doors Open in May 2025, if not before. The City of Minneapolis owns and manages the Witch’s Hat Water Tower and so is responsible for its maintenance and repairs, while Tower Hill Park is maintained by the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Department.
