Target Field Station is a community hub within the North Loop Neighborhood with a variety of mixed-used uses and the station itself containing year-round activated public spaces. Adjacent to Target Field Stadium, the station provides a space where community gathering, civic identity, multimodal transit, and culture come together as one.

The Great Lawn, urban plaza, and central amphitheater create a synergy of programs where cultural, entertainment activities and community events take place throughout the seasons.

The station connects Light Rail Train Transit, Commuter Rail, and Public Bus Transportation along with miles of regional pedestrian and bike trails easily accessible and connecting to downtown and other prime destinations.

The project includes year-round cyclical stormwater and snow-melt runoff treatment system, as well as bioretention swales, green roof systems, and permeable paving systems as part of a comprehensive approach and commitment to sustainable design.

Ana served as a landscape architect during the design and implementation of the project while employed at SEH.
