A stairway at Powderhorn Park in South Minneapolis is cordoned off by "Police Line Do Not Cross" tape. This area of the park was previously the site of a large homeless encampment, established in the summer of 2020 amidst the Minneapolis Uprising and growing concerns over housing insecurity. The presence of the police tape and scattered debris, including a broken chair, indicates the recent closure or clearing of the encampment. Powderhorn Park, a significant public green space in the city, became a focal point for discussions on homelessness and community support during this period.
