Rivers Edge Commons <br />Rivers Edge Commons is located in downtown Elk River at the junction of the <br />Elk River and Mississippi Rivers. The park was constructed in 2007 and features <br />a hillside performance venue and a street level plaza with a popular in -grade <br />fountain that is both a focal point and interactive play element. The park is a <br />successful connection to the river and has strengthened downtown's long term <br />viability. The commons is home to a successful summer concert series, movies in <br />the park, and special events that bring over 20,000 people to downtown annually. <br />The venue's overwhelming popularity has lead to performance seating regularly <br />filling to capacity and beyond. <br />Recommended improvements include expanding the seating and performance <br />areas to the west, a second upper plaza and shelter, a stormwater waterfall, and an <br />ADA accessible, seasonal dock. Long -term, as opportunities become available, <br />consideration of future expansion should be considered. <br />.. ........................................................ ............................... <br />51 City of Elk River - Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />
