Venue Information

In 2006, an idea was formed to create a gathering place in Downtown Aurora, a place to relax and to bring people together. It was to be situated next to the Fox River, the artery of Downtown Aurora, and connect neighborhoods on both sides of the river unifying the city. This space would be a place for recreation, to appreciate nature and provide entertainment right here in the suburbs. It would be called RiverEdge Park.

Moving forward with the idea of RiverEdge Park, a design competition was held with several different organizations. The Aurora Park Collaborative design was selected as well as the architect. Muller & Muller Architects used several different established parks and entertainment venues to support RiverEdge Park plans, including Millennium Park, Grant Park and Milwaukee’s Marcus Amphitheater. It took numerous workshops and meetings to refine the design, layout and construction plans for RiverEdge Park. The plan was ultimately approved in 2007.
