Prospect Park is a small, hilly neighborhood in Southeast Minneapolis best known for the Witch's Hat water tower atop Tower Hill Park and its proximity to the University of Minnesota. The METRO Green Line's Prospect Park station has spurred new mixed-use and senior housing development in the neighborhood over the past decade, adding to an older housing stock of early-1900s homes on winding, hilly streets.
Prospect Park is a neighborhood in Minneapolis. Senior care serving it is licensed the same way as the rest of the city, by the Minnesota Department of Health under Chapter 144G.
