Did you know? We weren't the only ones who planned and designed the award-winning Frogtown Community Center in St. Paul, MN. This dream team included St. Paul Parks & Recreation and the entire neighborhood, bringing an inclusive and culturally reflective hub that promotes the well-being of a generationally diverse community. To learn more about the needs of the Hmong and East African immigrant population, JLG sparked conversations on common ground, setting up a table outside the annual cultural festival and near their neighborhood grocery store. Meeting the community where they were helped shape and define the role of the Center, bringing familiar activities and artistry through a Kato court and locally curated artwork. Completed in 2020, Frogtown Community Center delivers a fun, vibrant, and inclusive destination that empowers everyone who walks through its doors.
