The Fort

For over 175 years Fort Snelling has been a pioneering place in bringing diverse cultures together. From Dakota and Ojibwe tribes meeting with new settlers to soldiers meeting for polo on The Fort's old Polo Grounds, Fort Snelling has a long history of establishing a sense of community.

Over the years Fort Snelling has been home to everything from soldier barracks to soccer fields, and whether it's hosting early settlers discovering new lands or today's young skaters discovering new abilities, Fort Snelling always has and always will stand as a landmark location for trailblazers.

	Located within less than a mile of both the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport and the Mall of America, Fort Snelling is located strategically at the intersection of two major cities and two of their largest suburbs.
	The Fort is easily accessible from two major highways and is only two blocks from a new light rail station opening in 2004.
	The Fort is connected via light rail to Downtown Minneapolis and The Mall of America, the country's largest indoor shopping facility that provides a constant stream of visitors to the area.

The Fort will be a world-class venue for action sports. Together with America's premier skate park builders, sports facility architects, and the help of local kids, we're designing a venue that will be the envy of action sports enthusiasts across the country.

Although still these are conceptual images, the park will include modular ramps inside and outside, an indoor bowl, and an outdoor concrete park among other features.
