Take a virtual walk around Graeser Park’s rare beehive fireplace on a rare sunny November day in MN.

One of only two remaining beehives built by the WPA, it’s the only one in its original location. Community efforts are growing to restore this historic Depression-era Lilac Way park. Learn about exciting recent updates.

Title transfer update

MnDOT currently owns an easement over the property giving them full control of the land. Underlying the easement there are multiple private property owners from the 1930s.

The City of Robbinsdale will work on acquiring the “fee title” to these parcels. Once they have the title, MnDOT will convey the easement (excluding the new stormwater pond area) to the City of Robbinsdale.

Successful application to MnDOT’s Highway Sponsorship Program would allow continued volunteer cleanup.

Before volunteers can continue to work in Graeser Park, an application must be approved for MnDOT’s Highway Sponsorship Program.

We are grateful that the Robbinsdale Lions Club will apply to MnDOT’s program. If approved, they will continue their stewardship of Graeser Park in 2021.
