Minneapolis' Prospect Park air quality reflects the historic Southeast Minneapolis neighbourhood on the historic water tower hill, with the elevated Prospect Park hilltop providing marginally better dispersal than the surrounding flat valley floor. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding residential corridors contributes modest local sources, while the tree-lined neighbourhood character provides natural filtration and the area generally maintains moderate Minneapolis metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.
