Webber Park Master Plan

Design Completion
2012

Landform led the master planning process for Webber Park in North Minneapolis. Our work included an intensive community design process with a community survey, a multi-day design charrette and additional public meetings. We also developed a project advisory committee of park board staff and a technical advisory committee of other key stakeholders to gather feedback and provide design input.

The 22-acre park includes a wading pool, tennis courts, playing field, playground, pond, basketball court, and recreation center. At the heart of this park is a natural swimming pond, a first of its kind in the United States. This pool offers space for lap swimming, wading, and open swimming, and is treated by a constructed wetland treatment system rather than a typical chlorine treatment system.

As part of the master planning process, Landform worked with the community to develop priorities for future improvements to guide the long-term development of the park as funds become available.
