History

An open-air amphitheater was built in 1962 on the south side of Greenfield Lake. It was originally equipped with wooden benches left over from the 1938 premiere of "The Lost Colony." In 2008, the Hugh Morton Amphitheater was upgraded with a $1.2 million renovation. The improvements included a new stage cover structure, concessions and a box office.

Greenfield Park, including the venue, was designated by City Council as a Local Historic Landmarks in April 2011. Any changes to the design, materials and appearance of the significant features will be subject to the design review procedures of the Historic Preservation Commission.
