Folwell Neighborhood News and Events


Folwell is one of seven neighborhoods in the Camden Community in northwest Minneapolis. Folwell is bordered by Lowry on the south, Dowling on the north, Dupont on the east and Penn Avenue North on the west. Most of the dwellings in the neighborhood were built at the beginning of the 20th century for families of moderate income.

Folwell remains a predominantly residential neighborhood with 2100 households and a diverse population of approximately 6300 residents. There are two elementary schools and a high school located in bordering neighborhoods, Lucy Craft Laney and City View which are K-8 and the renowned Patrick Henry High School. Beautiful Folwell Park anchors the northern edge of the neighborhood and is the second largest park in the  Minneapolis park system.

The park and neighborhood were named for Dr. William W. Folwell, who was the first president of the University of Minnesota and past president of the Minneapolis Park Board.
