Grace Hartman Amphitheatre, with a capacity to accommodate 1,700 people, provides a community based performance venue on the edge of Ramsey Lake as an integral component of Bell Park.
The project redeveloped this portion of the park to better accommodate key services and to create new public spaces that support festivals and public events. The amphitheater was designed to fit into the landscape and connect the audience to the lake. Improving the experiences of the performers and audiences was paramount. New ‘back of the house’ spaces increased weather protected stage areas and new high performance lighting and sound systems – providing the best festival experience for performances and audiences alike
