The Parks Issue of Landscape Architect and Specifier News saw many firms submit their projects for feature consideration. This project was not chosen for a Feature in the issue, but we at LandscapeArchitect.com thought the project deserved to be showcased online . . . Ridgedale Commons - a new two-acre park - is part of a larger, long-term vision to transform this part of Minnetonka, Minnesota into a mixed-use community with higher-density housing and bike and pedestrian-friendly amenities. This area has been anchored by a suburban shopping mall since the early 1970's, and the park site was previously privately-owned land, providing an over-supply of surface parking to the mall. The city recognized the need to reinvest in this area of the community which serves as an economic engine. The city's public investment in the land and park development has had an outsized community development impact. It quickly became a cherished community space for weekly farmers markets, summer concerts, casual informal gatherings, and other events. Public investment has led to further private investment and enjoyment of the neighborhood - achieving the goal of transforming and modernizing the classic suburban shopping mall.
