Welcome to Kindred Folk Commons
A unique outdoor community space designed to bring community members together in a beautiful, interactive environment where play, learning, and connection thrive.

It's a vibrant community hub where creative people of all ages come together in their local community to connect, refresh, and be inspired.

With community events, hands-on workshops, free play, and intergenerational activities, Kindredfolk Commons is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced and the answer to the desire for creativity and connection we all have as humans.
Our community hub offers:
-
Community gathering areas, where families can enjoy meals, participate in events, and meet other members of their community.
-
Play zones designed for creative exploration—obstacle courses, play kitchens, children's village, art stations, where kids can express themselves freely, without fear of being “too loud” or “too messy.”
-
Hands-on learning stations, where kids can explore gardening, woodworking, cooking, art, mechanics, and more, with retired mentors and local artisans passing down skills to the next generation.
-
Our own coffee shop featuring locally roasted coffee and artisan goods where parents can grab a cup of coffee to enjoy while watching their kids enjoy the freeplay areas.
An Outdoor Village for Connection & Creativity
Outdoor Free Play Spaces
Places for kids to run, climb, play, and explore.
Community Gatherings and Events
Beautiful common spaces for events as well as day to day connections.
Learn a Skill
Areas where kids and adults can work together to create.
We are bringing back an old idea.
It has been called many names.
In Greece, the agora.
In Italy, the piazza.
In Spain, the plaza.
In England, the green.
In essence - a central place where the community comes together. Where all ages are welcomed, ideas are exchanged, collaborations come to life, and connections are made.
The vision is to bring this central gathering place into the 21st century - in a way that works for modern society.
We are imagining something ancient in a completely new way.
A way that connects us to others through intention and purpose.
Through meaningful collaborations and learning experiences.
Beyond small talk and superficiality.
To connect on a deep level and create a sense of place for each community member.
A New Kind of Community Space
Kindred Folk Commons is more than just a place—it’s a movement.
We’re redefining what it means to come together as a community and offer a space where families, children, and individuals can experience both joy and growth.
Here, children play, learn, and explore while being mentored by skilled craftspeople and passionate educators.
Parents can relax, connect, and engage in creative pursuits alongside their children.
