Residents of the
Holland neighborhood have seen many exciting upgrades at
Jackson Square Park in recent years, including new play equipment, the installation of
In Flux, and the slowly rising
Innovation Backstop. The newest development is the installation of seven outdoor musical instruments, generously donated by the
Minneapolis City of Lakes Rotary Club as part of their mission to have a direct, positive impact on their community. These large, colorful, free-standing instruments were dedicated on September 24. The instruments will offer students and community members the opportunity to engage in creating musical sound, while a related University of Minnesota study will involve Edison students in monitoring and assessing the impact of the presence of these instruments in our community. Much thanks to the Rotary Club,
Minneapolis Park Board,
Knutson Construction, Doug Schmitt from
Schmitt Music and John Vandermyde Sr. (Edison class of ’58) for making this project possible.
