MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – As Minnesota catches another blast of smoky air from Canadian wildfires, Minneapolis is cancelling outdoor park activities due to air quality.
In a tweet Wednesday afternoon, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board announced all outdoor activities — including Music and Movies in the Park and field rentals — would be cancelled due to air quality concerns.
The City of Plymouth also announced similar cancellations in an afternoon message.
A red-level unhealthy air quality alert is in effect in the Twin Cities through Friday morning.
