Washburn Avenue Totlot is one of MPRB’s “tiny parks“. You won’t find these parks on the official parks list, but they are intended to provide an attractive neighborhood focal point. Nestled between homes in its southwest Minneapolis neighborhood, this park offers a small playground as well as green space. It does not have restroom amenities. The nearest recreation center is a half-mile east on 58th Street at Armatage Park.
