Gleason Fields

Located in the fastest growing portion of the city of Maple Grove, Gleason Fields was created in the center of a large planned 600-unit housing development. The
park is heavily used for both youth and adult recreation programming with a wide variety of sports being played at the same location. The project included three soccer fields, two softball fields, one baseball diamond, and a flex field mostly used for youth football. In addition to field sports, the park also contains two hockey rinks and free skate area with a warming house, a large children’s playground, basketball courts, and a significant trail system linked with many areas of the city. A key element to this project was protecting steep slopes and minimizing future maintenance costs through the use of native grasses and naturalized plantings.
