The Moore Lake Park Building is one part of a larger city wide park system redevelopment project for the city of Fridley, and is the first construction project in the realization of that master plan.

The new building replaces an existing building in the prominent park located on Central Avenue, just north of 694 and be one of the most visible municipal features within the City of Fridley. The building project is something that Oertel has been working with Fridley staff for several years to help initially scope the need. This project included finalizing a building program, engaging the community in an aesthetics and features discussion, developing project goals and designing options to meet those goals with city staff, and finalizing documents for the construction of the facility.

The design includes a 4,000 SF enclosed gathering space with public restrooms, and a 4,000 SF open air covered pavilion for outdoor gathering events. For this project, Oertel Architects is the building architect, working alongside WSB who is the city’s park landscape architect and civil design team.
