Maple Grove Town Green
Maple Grove, MN

The City of Maple Grove hired Damon Farber Associates to lead the design of a new town green and performance area located in the heart of the city (along the east shore of West Arbor Lake) between the Maple Grove Government Center and the new Hennepin County Library.

The improvements proposed for the Town Green project are intended to enhance the regional character of the existing site as well as promote an attractive and inviting public events space. The well crafted landscape blends the surrounding lake and park with the built environment in a way that provides both an aesthetic setting as well as a functional facility. The design intent was to develop a multi-functional space intended to have year round passive use while also providing space for programmed events.

The desired programming of the space led to the creation of a stage and bandshell with terraced seating, arbor & pavilions, plaza & town green, pathways, trails, and a new peninsula waterfront.
