Baker Square Continues to grow
What was once an underutilized corner of Maplewood Village has been transformed into Baker Square, a welcoming public gathering space designed for community connection, relaxation, and small-scale programming.
Over the past several years, the Maplewood Village Alliance has invested in significant improvements to the space, including the removal of invasive vegetation, installation of ADA-compliant brick pavers, attractive seating, landscaping, lighting, and ongoing maintenance. Baker Square has quickly become a popular place for residents and visitors to meet, rest, and enjoy the Village.
Help Us Complete the Next Phase
We are now raising funds for the next enhancement to Baker Square: the installation of five large, durable planters and seasonal plantings along the front edge of the square.
These planters will help define the space, create a welcoming visual entrance, add year-round greenery and color, and provide a natural buffer from the surrounding streetscape. The improvements will further strengthen Baker Square as a vibrant community destination while enhancing the beauty of Maplewood Village.
