Minneapolis Park Police personnel clear tents and belongings from an encampment at Powderhorn Park in July 2020. This action followed the establishment of a large homeless encampment in the park, which grew significantly in the wake of the Minneapolis Uprising and broader discussions around housing insecurity. Powderhorn Park, a prominent urban green space in South Minneapolis, is historically designated for public recreation and community events. The clearing operation underscored the complex challenges of homelessness and the management of public spaces within the city.
