The Fremont Triangle is a 0.02-acre patch of green space found tucked at the intersection of Mount Curve and Fremont Avenue South in Lowry Hill. It is one of 37 Triangles of land owned by Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board. Acquired by MPRB in 1896, it was originally named Mt. Curve Triangle.
For decades Fremont Triangle was unsightly and detracted from the adjacent neighborhood and Thomas Lowry Park (TLP), due to its close proximity. Through the benevolence of nearby residents, Friends of Thomas Lowry Park, and Lowry Hill Neighborhood Association (LHNA), a project commenced to enhance the space. Accordingly, generous neighbors landscaped and planted perennials in Fremont Triangle for all to enjoy.
Friends of Thomas Lowry Park lent assistance and directed contributions to the project. A stately urn that complements one in TLP was gifted by LHNA and was planted with seasonal arrangements paid for with donations from local residents for several years. Unfortunately, those funds are now depleted.
Part of the charitable purpose of Friends of Thomas Lowry Park is to make distributions to enhance the neighborhood and administer projects that qualify under its IRS Section 501(c)(3) designation. Please donate today to maintain this precious community resource!
