About Linden Weiswerda

At the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, I work as a Data Insights & Sustainability Analyst to generate solutions and meaningful interventions across the organization. I seek to tell stories and analyze our public impact with urban data science and ever growing knowledge of city park systems. With my proficiency in GIS, Python, and Power BI, I contribute to our mission of creating data-informed strategies for recreation, safety, equity, and climate resilience.My leadership with the National Recreation and Park Association and as Chair of the Open Space and Recreation Commission for the City of Golden Valley complements my analytical role, guiding initiatives that embed inclusivity and sustainability into the fabric of community parks. Together, these positions underscore my commitment to fostering accessible and resilient urban environments and cities.
