City of Minnetonka, Minnesota

Located in Hennepin County just eight miles west of Minneapolis, Minnetonka is a fully developed suburban community of just under 50,000 residents. Minnetonka is proud of its reputation as a city that preserves its natural resources—residents can enjoy 49 community parks, more than 81 miles of maintained sidewalks and trails and more than 1,000 acres of public open space, as well as natural scenery that includes mature trees, wetlands and prairies. While Minnetonka shares its name with the very popular Lake Minnetonka, the city of Minnetonka includes only one small bay of the lake – Gray’s Bay, which forms the headwaters of Minnehaha Creek. Mission: Exceptional services provided by exceptional people. That’s more than just a slogan for us—it’s why we chose a career in public service. Each and every day, we have an opportunity to make a difference in our community and in the lives of the citizens we serve.
