The groundbreaking of the new teen center marks more than progress—it marks a powerful return. What began as childhood memories spent on these very grounds is now fueling a bold mission to give back. This moment is more than symbolic—it’s the beginning of something transformative. Led by someone who once walked these same parks as a kid and now leads with purpose, this new chapter is deeply rooted in legacy, community, and a passion for elevating the next generation.

With plans for a full-court gym, a state-of-the-art tech center, creative studios, and programs designed to nurture growth and potential, this space will be more than just a building—it will be a catalyst. A safe haven. A launchpad for future leaders. Brooklyn Park is setting the tone for what it looks like to invest in youth, in community, and in vision—and this is just the beginning.

In case you missed it, we kicked off the month with a monumental moment for the youth of Brooklyn Park, made possible by the incredible generosity of The Thielen Foundation. With a transformative $100K donation, they’ve partnered with the Minnesota CHILL Foundation to create safe, empowering spaces where children can not only grow and learn but also embrace life-changing opportunities. This contribution, directed toward Zanewood, is more than just a financial gift—it’s a powerful investment in the future of our community.
