Welcome Friends & Neighbors
It has been an honor serving the residents of Corcoran, Greenfield, Hanover, Independence, Long Lake, Loretto, Maple Plain, Medicine Lake, Medina, Minnetrista, Minnetonka Beach, Mound, New Hope, Orono, Plymouth, Rockford, Rogers, Spring Park, St. Bonifacius, and Wayzata on the Three Rivers Park Board of Commissioners for the past 7 years working to protect and strenghten our regional park system.
Each year, Three Rivers Parks receives over 16 million visits — more than twice the population of Minnesota! Our parks are among the region’s greatest community assets, and protecting them for future generations remains a top priority.
My Commitment to Our Parks
I will continue working to:
- Deliver outstanding park visitor experiences
- Ensure our parks are accessible and welcoming for everyone
- Support a financially strong and sustainable park system
- Protect and preserve our natural resources
I remain committed to balancing recreation, conservation, and sustainability so the park system continues to serve current and future generations.
I would be honored to continue serving as your commissioner and earn your vote for re-election on August 11, 2026.
Serving The Community
Marge Beard brings a practical, solutions-oriented perspective shaped by her experience as an accountant, information technology professional, and former Plymouth City Council member.
She is the founder of Twin Cities BEST Dollars for Scholars, an all-volunteer nonprofit that has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships to students pursuing degrees in Business, Engineering, Science, and Technology at Minnesota public colleges and universities.
She also served on the Board of PRISM supporting efforts focused on food access, housing stability, and community support services.
Strong regional parks depend on steady leadership and long-term stewardship. I remain focused on ensuring the Three Rivers system continues to serve our communities well into the future.
