The Waite Park Community Council conducted a year-long needs assessment in 2019. In addition to an online survey, we conducted door-knocks throughout the neighborhood and coordinated block group discussions about the future of our neighborhood. Our goal was to develop an understanding of what kind of community our neighbors want to live in so that we can develop programs to support our neighbors' vision.
Waite Park is located in the far northeastern corner of Minneapolis and on the eastern edge of Hennepin County. Its borders are 37th Ave NE, Stinson Boulevard, St. Anthony Parkway, and Central Avenue. The neighborhood consists of mostly owner-occupied, single-family homes, with approximately 5,600 residents. It is home to Waite Park Elementary School, Cavell Park, and Deming Heights Park.
The Waite Park Community Council (WPCC) is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)3 organization officially recognized by the City of Minneapolis as the neighborhood representative of Waite Park. Founded in 1954, the WPCC serves as a forum to support the interests of the Waite Park neighborhood, and to maintain a high quality of life through community engagement.
