Uptown United Community Ambassador Walk

Uptown United hosts volunteer community walks through Uptown’s commercial corridors on Friday and Saturday evenings at 6pm until about 7:30.

We meet at Seven Points (Lake & Hennepin) and walk in small groups to create a visible, positive presence in the neighborhood. Along the way, we support local businesses -- grab a taco, pick up a coffee, stop in and say hello. The goal is to bring energy back to the streets. Volunteers are also encouraged to pick up litter as we go. Small actions add up.

Programs like this have worked in cities across the country. When people are out, engaged, and present, it helps discourage disruptive behavior and makes neighborhoods feel more welcoming.

Garden Tool Swap

Garden Tool Swap

Join the Cedar Isles Dean, East Bde Maka Ska, Kenwood, and Lowry Hill Neighborhood Associations for a Garden Tool Swap as part of the citywide Neighborhood Day celebrations!

From seasoned growers to novice seed-sowers, all are welcome at the 6th Annual Minneapolis Garden Tool Swap. As you start Spring cleaning, hang on to any extra yard tools, planters, garden decor, books, pots, seeds, and more, and share them with neighbors at the swap.

You do not need to bring items in order to grab something you can use, and you may bring items without taking any in return. All items donated at the swap are free for any participant to take home and we’ll share any leftover items on social media after the event.

Items to bring:

  • Garden and yard tools (shovels, trowels, rakes, pitchforks, hoses, hose reels, etc.)

  • Pots and planters (wood, terracotta, decorative plastic) - free of any soil or dirt

  • Potting soil/mix (unused, bagged)

  • Gardening and plant books

  • Garden art and décor

  • Bird houses and feeders (unused or sanitized)

Drop off and exchange garden tools from 1-4 p.m. at Kenwood Park, 2101 W Franklin Ave.
