2015 Spring/Summer Programs A Message from Springbrook Nature Center Director - Mike Maher

Springbrook Nature Center is scheduled to begin construction of an expansion to our building during the spring or early summer of this year. All of the staff are thrilled about this incredible opportunity to better serve our community and create an exciting gateway to your next outdoor adventure.

Our plans include additional classrooms, dynamic exhibits, a large gathering space for events, expanded visitor amenities, incredible views into nature, and sustainable design elements such as bird-safe glass, a green roof, and geothermal heating and cooling. Fundraising is also underway for a nature-based play area, amphitheater and new picnic pavilion.

As we proceed through our improvements, we will continue to offer limited programs and services in a safe environment. We will be renovating our existing building and constructing an addition between the current building and the parking lot. New construction will begin first, allowing us to continue our popular summer camp programs in the current building. As the new addition is built, the two structures will be connected creating a seamless, redesigned, interpretive center that will serve the people of Fridley for generations to come.

Beginning this spring, we will experience some interruptions of programs and services. We will keep our park users informed of our progress and any closures through our website, newsletters and Facebook page.

As we improve our nature center building, our focus remains on the health, safety and appearance of our park grounds.

During the last year, we added three new bridges to the park and 400 feet of new boardwalk. Improvements will continue this year with plans to continue replacing our boardwalks and to add security cameras in our parking lot.

I hope to see you at Springbrook Nature Center during our spring and summer season. We have an all new Spring Fling event on May 16th, and have some incredible summer camps planned. We always love to visit with our park guests to hear about sightings of wildlife, answer questions, or help you explore our exhibits. Plan a trip to visit us soon and stay tuned to our website for the latest updates!
