Elliot Park

Elliot Park, Minneapolis Jones Memorial Library, the prominent building of North Central University, faces Elliot Park. Elliot Park, at the center of the neighborhood of the same name Elliot Park is a neighborhood within the larger Central community in Minneapolis.

It is bordered on the north by the Downtown West and Downtown East neighborhoods, on the west by Loring Park, on the east by Cedar-Riverside, and on the south by Phillips. Its official boundaries are 5th Avenue South to the northwest, 5th Street South to the northeast, Highway 55 to the east, the Interstate 94/Interstate 35W commons to the south, and 4th Avenue South to the west.

The neighborhood occupies both the Downtown Minneapolis street grid (running parallel to the Mississippi River) and the South Minneapolis street grid (running north–south and east–west), creating many triangular street corners where the two grids meet.

Once the home of some of Minneapolis's wealthiest citizens, Elliot Park has recently begun a gentrification process that is returning the neighborhood to a popular place to live in Minneapolis.
